After The Crown, Claire Foy has bagged another series and it's also a biopic. The series is based on An Ugly Truth: Inside Facebook's Battle for Domination which is Sheera Frenkel and Cecilia Kang's New York Times bestselling book. In the series adaptation, Claire will be seen as Facebook's Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg. The series is titled Doomsday Machine and the platform where it will air is yet to be announced. 

The series will show the up, close and personal relationship between Mark Zuckerberg and Sandberg along with obstacles faced by Facebook while being on a relentless quest for growth. Variety also reported that many journalists will be a part of the show as consultants which will help in the accuracy of the plot. The series will be shown from 2016 when Donald Trump was elected as the President of the US. 

It will also show the revelations about XCHECK which is a program that stopped important users including Trump from the rules and regulations of Facebook.
