It will explore how a university drop-out turned high school maths teacher catapulted himself into enormous personal wealth - all the while creating a human sex trafficking syndicate catering to the rich and famous.
Last year the disgraced billionaire and convicted sex offender was found dead in his jail cell.
The medical examiner ruled Epstein, 66, took his own life in his New York City prison cell in August after he was arrested on sex trafficking charges, but conspiracy theories about his passing have been rife since.
