Netflix eis preparing a miniseries about US President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, as reported exclusively by Variety. It will be based on the book “JFK: Coming Of Age In The American Century, 1917-1956” by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Fredrik Logeval, released in 2020 with the first part of a two-volume biography chronicling his life from childhood in Massachusetts to his time as the youngest President of the United States.

Oscar-winning screenwriter of ‘Forrest Gump’, ‘A Star is Born’ and the highly anticipated ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ Eric Roth is writing and producing with Peter Cernin and Geno Topping executive producing producers.

The new project, according to Variety’s sources, will be in the same vein as the hugely successful series about the British royal family “The Crown”, which is completed. And it might follow the same pattern where different actors play the same characters at different times in their lives.
