The story behind the U.K.’s notorious phone hacking scandal will be explored in this upcoming series taken up under the British based broadcasting network, ITV. Rupert Murdoch’s ‘News of the World’ was a tabloid that focused on the mucky affairs of public figures. The platform relied on hacking to retrieve private information on people and at the center of it all were the accusations against Rupert Murdoc, the then owner of the newspaper. The scandal, first broke out in 2011 wherein it was revealed that a private investigator who was hired by the paper had hacked the voicemail of Milly Dowler, a murdered 13-year-old schoolgirl. There were other reports on the paper meddling with guarded information of several celebrities and members of the British Royal Family. The subsequent investigation that was carried out culminated in the arrest of over 100 people, followed by imprisonments, resignations and, ultimately, the closure of ‘News of the World’.

The first investigations on the matter was carried out from early 2000s upon which several illegal activities tied to the people behind the newspaper were revealed. This was followed by the ‘Royal Phone hacking Scandal’ and more in which the phone conversations of the members of the British Royal Family were reportedly spied upon and tapped by privately hired investigators who reportedly sold the content to the newspaper. Many other cases were tied to the paper that immediately led to its downfall. The upcoming series will supposedly be focusing on such scandals that the tabloid was accused of.
