NBC has scrapped its controversial Hillary Clinton miniseries project.
OUR EDITOR RECOMMENDS
"After reviewing and prioritizing our slate of movie/miniseries development, we've decided that we will no longer continue developing the Hillary Clinton miniseries," the network said in a statement Monday.
The news comes hours after CNN Films opted tocancel its planned documentary on the former secretary of state and first lady after pressure from both Democrats and Republicans.
NBC announced in July that it was developing a four-hour miniseries based on Clinton starring Diane Lane, with plans to air the effort before Clinton was likely to announce her candidacy for president. The project was due to be written by Frozen River'sCourtney Hunt and would have recounted Clinton's life as a wife, mother, politician and cabinet member from 1998 to the present. The script would have started with Clinton living in the White House as her husband Bill Clinton is serving the second of his two terms as president and would have included her likely run for president.
