Netflix is developing a limited series based on the life of U.S. President John F. Kennedy.

The series will be based on the critically acclaimed book JFK: Coming of Age In the American Century, 1917-1956 by Fredrik Logevall.

The book, published in 2020, is the first part of a planned two-volume biography of Kennedy.

Part one examines his life from his birth up to his time as the junior U.S. Senators from Massachusetts.

Eric Roth is attached to write and exec-produce the project. Peter Chernin and Jenno Topping of Chernin Entertainment will also executive produce. The search is currently on for a showrunner.

My Oscar Book:

Roth is successful film writer, winning the best adapted screenplay Oscar for Forrest Gump in 1995.

He has been nominated for six more Academy Awards since, including for his work on films like “Munich,” Bradley Cooper’s “A Star Is Born,” and most recently “Dune.”

He is also one of the credited writers on Martin Scorsese’s upcoming film “Killers of the Flower Moon.” His other writing credits include “Ali,” “The Good Shepherd,” and “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” the last of which also earned him an Oscar nomination.

He is repped by CAA, Lenore Entertainment Group, and Jackoway Austen Tyerman.

Chernin Entertainment’s current TV slate includes shows like “P-Valley” at Starz, renewed for third season, and the upcoming epic “Chief of War” at Apple TV+ starring Jason Momoa. The company also recently co-produced the film “Luther: The Fallen Sun” starring Idris Elba, with Elba reprising the role of Detective Chief Inspector John Luther, and “Dicks: The Musical.”
