Anatomy of Lies is a three-part documentary that explores the incredible truth behind one of the most sensational writers' scandals in television history. The new Hulu series is directed by Vanity Fair contributing editor Evgenia Peretz and filmmaker David Schisgall.
It plunges into the invented life of Elisabeth Finch, an ex-Grey's Anatomy writer who lied about her involvement in battles with cancer and endured many other medical traumas - most of which she inserted into the popular medical drama's storylines.
And it's the story not just of Finch's deception but also of the woman who uncovered it, his estranged wife Jennifer Beyer, who told producers she loved Jennifer Fin. of Grey's Anatomy, but had been lying about being Jennifer Beyer.

The docuseries Anatomy of Lies will arrive on Peacock on October 15, 2024. It will peel off the layers of her lies and their impact on the very people Finch had with her, including Beyer, who found himself entangled in Finch's lies.
From interviews with writers from Grey's Anatomy and with Beyer, one gets an intimate inside look at how nearly a decade passed before Finch's web of lies was uncovered.
The story behind Anatomy of Lies
The heart of Anatomy of Lies is the dramatic unraveling of the constructed tale by Elisabeth Finch.
Finch, a new writer hired at Grey's Anatomy, took to her writer's staff and colleagues the story about how she was combating a rare form of bone cancer and getting treatment to include the removal of a kidney and an abortion, which had been medically requested as part of the treatment process.
These fabricated life experiences were not only discussed with her coworkers but also integrated into the plot of the program. The scenario became public when Jennifer Beyer, Finch's estranged wife, discovered just how much of a farce her situation was.
In 2019, a nurse from Kansas by the name of Beyer met Finch at a mental health treatment facility. They got married in 2020, but within a short time, Beyer started suspecting that Finch's stories were sketchy. An investigation into the revelations that Beyer had on Finch's lies led to the writer's exit from Grey's Anatomy, making it a big industry scandal.
Anatomy of Lies release date and trailer
Peacock has scheduled the release of Anatomy of Lies on October 15, 2024. This action-packed preview from the trailer for Anatomy of Lies will whet the appetite for the series. It begins with dramatic music and quick cuts about Elisabeth Finch's life as a rising star writer.
The revealing act in the trailer unfolds with startling twists about it as well, with interviews from colleagues and friends who were fooled by her lies. She reveals how lying emotionally drained her story and kept people in suspense.
The fallout for Grey's Anatomy and the show's personnel
The emotional fallout from Finch's lies trickled over to both personal and professional realms. Many of these interviews are from writers and colleagues of Grey's Anatomy who thought they were supporting a friend who was fighting cancer.
They tell how Finch's lies made them go that extra mile to accommodate her apparent needs, like providing her with time off, showing her emotional support and even chipping in for her writing. For many, it was an act of betrayal that could not be forgotten.
While Grey's Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes and her production company, Shondaland, took time to get on board with the series, former colleagues of Finch revealed just how the lies stayed for so long. The implication is that the inner workings of the show can now be looked at from another emotional context as a result of Finch's lies.
Anatomy of Lies is more than a retelling of the lies of Elisabeth Finch - it's a tale of resilience and courage in the face of betrayal that has had far-reaching effects. By centering on Jennifer Beyer, the documentary shows one person's courage to speak out against lies, which helped bring a shocking truth to light.
The emotional fallout of one of television's most stunning real-life dramas will be unveiled in the series, which begins airing on Peacock on October 15, 2024.
