"Netflix confirmed on October 20 that it just green-lit a new show, titled Kennedy, focusing on the famous family. Based on Fredrik Logevall's book JFK: Coming of Age in the American Century, 1917-1956, the eight-episode first season will star Michael Fassbender as patriarch Joe Kennedy Sr. The series will be run and executive produced by Sam Shaw, best known for the series Manhattan, and directed by Another Round filmmaker Thomas Vinterberg."
"According to Netflix, the series will begin in the 1930s and focus primarily on Joe and his wife, Rose's, ascent through American culture, along with the lives of their children, including JFK, who lives in the shadow of his older brother. It arrives in the midst of a general Kennedy-sance in prestige TV: Ryan Murphy is currently working on American Love Story, about Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and John F. Kennedy Jr. That series is set to debut in 2026 on FX."
