Lewinsky is currently working as a "hands-on producer" for FX's Impeachment: American Crime Story, an anthology chronicling the events that led to the impeachment of former President Bill Clinton.
Lewinsky said she's excited by "entertaining, thought-provoking and emotion-stirring" storytelling that advances conversation by "exploring the human condition from an unexpected lens."

Lewinsky is also credited as an executive producer on the upcoming HBOMax documentary, 15 Minutes of Shame, per the Reporter.
