EXCLUSIVE: Oren, Tal and Alon Alexander, two high-profile real-estate agents and their brother, were recently charged with sex trafficking after being accused of working together to “repeatedly and violently drug, sexually assault, and rape dozens of victims, according to federal prosecutors.
Their story is now set to be told in documentary form, as well as potentially as a scripted series, after Charlize Theron’s , Sony’s Maxine Productions, which was behind ID’s Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV, and Vox Media Studios teamed up on the project.
The project will be based on reporting by Bridget Read and James D. Walsh from New York Magazine, which is part of Vox, with Maxine Productions’ Mary Robertson and Emma Schwartz, who helmed Quiet on Set, being eyed to direct.
Secret Menu, Maxine Productions, and Vox Media Studios will produce and the three companies are also developing a scripted adaptation of the project.

It is also behind a limited series adaptation of horror novel The Quiet Tenant with Blumhouse and Anthony E. Zuiker, original thriller Apex starring Theron and Jane, a psychological thriller feature about the prolific science-fiction writer Philip K. Dick from Alfonso Cuaro.
Maxine Productions was founded by Robertson in 2022 through an overall deal with Sony Pictures Television. It is also behind Prime Video’s Glitter and Greed: The Lisa Frank Story and Peacock’s Girls Gone Wild: The Untold Story.
