Date Published: September 17, 2024 -- Premiering October 15 on Peacock, Anatomy of Lies reveals the rise and fall of Grey’s Anatomy star writer Elisabeth Finch, whose jaw-dropping lies fooled Hollywood for years and became fodder for many high-profile episodes of Grey’s Anatomy.

Told in three episodes that are 60 minutes each, the story is told by some of her closest contacts, many speaking for the first time.

Originally reported in the Vanity Fair article “Scene Stealer,” the docuseries reveals how Finch, a master of manipulation, saved her best fiction for her own life story and exploited the empathy of those around her.

Her final mark was trauma survivor Jennifer Beyer, who entrusted Finch with her deepest secrets. But as Beyer uncovers the web of lies that deceived Hollywood for years, she faces a daunting challenge: can she reclaim the narrative from a convincing storyteller who showed no signs of stopping?

Anatomy of Lies is directed and executive produced by Evgenia Peretz (Our Idiot Brother, Juliet, Naked) and David Schisgall (True Life, Our Idiot Brother, Very Young Girls). Vanity Fair Studios and Dorothy St. Pictures produced the docuseries.

The executive producers include David Schisgall, Evgenia Peretz, Vicki Cooper, Melanie Archer, Julia Nottingham, Helen Estabrook, Sarah Amos, Claire Howorth, and Samantha Smith.
