Gaslit is the upcoming political series expected to become a huge hit, which will see Julia Roberts return to screens to portray Martha Mitchell, the unlikely whistleblower of President
Nixon’s Watergate scandal. Fans were looking forward to seeing the drama after Starz released the trailer on Wednesday, which featured the award-winning actress looking completely
unrecognisable. Gaslit will follow Matha Mitchell (played by Julia Roberts) as she sets out to reveal the truth about the major political scandal, Watergate. Martha was the first person to
bust the case wide open which led her to face a misogynistic smear campaign from the White House. She was an unlikely whistleblower because Martha was the wife of then-President Nixon’s

tell an incredible untold story in bringing Martha Mitchell’s historic role in Watergate to the forefront. “But we are also incredibly lucky to have a dream cast including Julia and Sean and
the best creative team and partners we could have asked for.” Gaslit previously hit headlines in 2020 after Penn famously refused to go on set if the entire cast and crew hadn't been
