The series, currently going by the working title Power: The Downfall of Huw Edwards, has been in development for a year, and is the first collaboration between 5’s factual and scripted commissioning teams.
According to 5, the series will explore "the newsreader’s double life as it spirals out of control, leading him to make the greatest announcement of his career – his total exit from public life following his conviction for serious child sexual offences".
Announcing the series, 5 called the new commission an "unflinching drama" and a "complex, emotional and nuanced portrait" of the scandal surrounding Edwards.
It added that it will "build on extensive factual research over the past 12 months, including extensive first hand interviews and co-operation from those at the heart of the scandal and exclusive access to The Sun newspaper’s award-winning investigation into Edwards".
"By gaining exclusive access to the key individuals involved and those who investigated the story, we explore the human cost behind the headlines. As a close collaboration between 5’s factual and scripted teams this is a first for the channel."
Elsewhere, Clunes will next be seen Emerald Fennell's adaptation of Wuthering Heights alongside Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, which arrives in UK cinemas on 13th February.
