Roth is also credited as a writer for Martin Scorsese's highly anticipated film, Killers of the Flower Moon.
Netflix's vision for the series draws parallels with its hit show, The Crown, a historical drama that follows the British royal family's journey. The Kennedy family's profound influence on American history offers a captivating backdrop for this project. While the format and casting details are yet to be finalised, the series promises to be a compelling exploration of the Kennedy legacy.
Peter Chernin and Jenno Topping of Chernin Entertainment will serve as executive producers alongside Eric Roth. The search is underway for a showrunner to guide the series to fruition.
Netflix has not issued an official comment regarding the development, as of now.
