When Does "Impeachment: American Crime Story" ACS Season Three (2021) Take Place?

"Impeachment: American Crime Story" (ACS season three) is a historical fiction television series showran by Sarah Burgess that released September 7th, 2021. So when is "Impeachment: American Crime Story" set? 


It takes place in the year: 

1998 AD 


We know this because it depicts the real-world sexual affair (which lasted from November of 1995 AD to March of 1997 AD) and subsequent real-world impeachment of United States of America President William Clinton (from October 8th, 1998 AD to December 19th, 1998 AD). 

Furthermore, season three episode one "Exiles" opens with a white-on-black title card reading, "January 1998 Washington, D.C." before a prologue sequence. 

In season three episode six "Man Handled", we see the first episode’s 1998 AD prologue from a new perspective and most content from here until the season finale season three episode ten "The Wilderness" is contained within the 1998 AD calendar year. 

Additionally, season three episode one "Exiles" includes a white-on-black title card telling us it's "JULY 1993 5 YEARS EARLIER" at the start of a flashback after the 1998 AD prologue. Then, another title card at about the three-quarter point labels the end of the episode as "April 1996 23 Months Later" just before scenes depicting the real-world Monica Lewinsky starting her job at the Pentagon spokesperson's office, which happened in April of 1996 AD. So some scenes must be in May of 1994 AD

4.1,996 - 23 months = 5.1,994. 

Season three episode two "The President Kissed Me" includes a title card halfway through making it clear it’s "Inauguration Day January 20, 1993" and the real-world first inauguration of President Clinton did occur in January of 1993 AD

Season three episode eight "Stand by Your Man" opens with a scene flashing back even further to 1992 AD
