DirecTV Passes On Katie Holmes' The Kennedys Mini-Series
Posted on Sat Jan 22nd, 2011 1:05pm PDT By X17 Staff
After The History Channel decided to yank the completed The Kennedys mini-series from its schedule earlier this month, the 8-part series has struggled to find a new home. And it appears it will still be looking after DirecTV, who previously expressed interest, has passed on airing the show.
They join Showtime, Starz and F/X in the list of networks who have said no to the potentially scandalous series which is still pursuing other buyers, reports THR.
The Kennedys stars Greg Kinnear as John F. Kennedy, Katie Holmes as Jackie Kennedy and is executive produced by 24 co-creator Joel Surnow.
Although this work by Holmes may be struggling to find a home, we have no doubt that we'll be able to see Katie on the screen again soon. She's currently shooting her new film, Jack and Jill, with Adam Sandler, which is scheduled for release later this year.
Some reports have said the script for The Kennedys was not only "malicious" but highly historically inaccurate. Will we ever get to see what's so controversial about the project?
