All Information For You
The Kennedys, the miniseries that stars Greg Kinnear as JFK and Katie Holmes as Jackie has found a new, albeit far lower profile home on TV: the ReelzChannel (yep, it's all one word). According to a story this morning in The Hollywood Reporter, the controversial miniseries, created by 24 executive producer Joel Surnow and writer Stephen Kronish will have its world premiere on Reelz April 3.
The Kennedys' original world premiere, on The History Channel, was scrubbed–reportedly under pressure from the real Kennedys–earlier this month.
Reelz, owned by Minnesota-based Hubbard Communications, is available in about 60 million homes, and THR reports the company has high hopes for The Kennedys:
"We think it will drive ratings and put a spotlight on this network that has never been on it before," Hubbard said. "We're going to do a full-blown marketing campaign." Plans are already in the works for in-theater ads, TV spots, online and a print campaign, he added.
