Roach is no stranger to political portrayals, having directed HBO's Game Change, based on the 2008 election, which earned him an Emmy. He also directed HBO's Recount, based on the 2000 presidential election and the Lyndon B. Johnson HBO movie All the Way. Roach was previously attached to direct the Game Change-follow-up on the 2016 election, which was scrapped due to Mark Halperin's sexual harassment scandal.
