Jacqueline Kennedy

Michael Fassbender to portray Joseph Kennedy Sr in Netflix’s new Kennedy family drama

Inspired by Fredrik Logevall’s acclaimed biography “JFK: Coming of Age in the American Century, 1917–1956,” the show traces the Kennedy family’s ascent through power, politics, and personal tragedy. Set in the 1930s, its first season follows Joe and Rose Kennedy and their nine children — including a young Jack Kennedy — as they navigate ambition, rivalry, and legacy in a rapidly changing America.
