History Channel Cancels ‘The Kennedys’ Miniseries — Before It Even Airs

The Kennedys promotional posterThe much-anticipated ‘Kennedys’ miniseries was set to air this spring. That is, until History Channel abruptly canceled it today.

“Upon completion of the production of ‘The Kennedys,’ History has decided not to air the 8-part miniseries,” a rep for the network told The Hollywood Reporter in a statement. “After viewing the final product in its totality, we have concluded that although the film is produced and acted with the highest quality auspices, the dramatic license the series takes is not suitable for the History brand.”

That “dramatic license” didn’t deter big-name talent from the multi-million dollar production: Greg Kinnear as John F. Kennedy; Katie Holmes as Jackie Kennedy; Barry Pepper as Robert F. Kennedy; and Tom Wilkinson as Joe Kennedy. The actors and producer Joel Surnow (’24′) were told this afternoon of the cancellation.
