Greg Kinnear and Katie Holmes’ Kennedys miniseries to air on The ReelzChannel
The controversial miniseries nixed by the History Channel will see the light of day after all. The Kennedys — starring Katie Holmes and Greg Kinnear — will air on the ReelzChannel, it was announced Tuesday.
The series will make its world premiere on the network beginning April 3.
“Viewers will see every twist and turn of this family’s extraordinary story up to and including the assassinations of JFK and RFK,” Reelz said in statement.
“We believe in the business we are committed to — movies, the celebrities making them and how and why they influence our cultural universe,” said the channel’s CEO, Stan E. Hubbard.
“If that means defending the right for well-told and important stories to be seen — then so be it — we can do that.
“We’re not beholden to anyone — we are here for the viewers and we are here for the movie and artistic community as well. As an independent, we have the freedom few networks enjoy.”
