- Netflix commissioned a drama adapted from Fredrik Logevall's JFK book with an eight-episode first season, casting Michael Fassbender, Laura Donnelly, Nick Robinson, and Joshuah Melnick.
- Sam Shaw will showrun and executive produce the series with Chernin Entertainment and executive producers Peter Chernin and Eric Roth, adapting Fredrik Logevall's biography.
- The first season charts the improbable ascent of Joe and Rose Kennedy and their nine children, revealing intimate lives, rivalries, and Jack's struggle against his brother's shadow.
