Kennedy Family Series Confirmed at Netflix with Michael Fassbender Attached as Joe Kennedy Sr.

Netflix has announced an eight-episode series based on the Kennedy family, with Michael Fassbender attached as the patriarch

The show will be based on Fredrik Logevall’s book, “JFK: Coming of Age in the American Century, 1917-1956.”

Michael will portray Joe Kennedy, Sr., and the logline suggests there is more than one season planned at this time!

Here’s the logline: KENNEDY reveals the intimate lives, loves, rivalries and tragedies that shaped the most iconic dynasty in modern history, and helped create the world we live in today. Beginning in the 1930s, the first season charts the improbable ascent of Joe and Rose Kennedy and their nine children, including rebellious second son Jack, who struggles to escape the shadow of his golden boy older brother.

Showrunner Sam Shaw told Tudum.com, “The story of the Kennedys is the closest we have to American mythology — somewhere between Shakespeare and The Bold and the Beautiful. But Fredrik Logevall’s stunning, nuanced biography pulls a veil on the human strivings and burdens behind the myth, revealing as much about our present moment, how we got here and where we’re going, as about the Kennedys themselves. I’m thrilled to be able to explore this saga of a family and a world in transition with Eric Roth, Thomas Vinterberg and our incredible band of artists and partners, at a moment when our past feels urgently present.”
