 Yes, season 6 of The Crown means an end for the hit series, but Netflix is already looking ahead to their next project, which has been confirmed to be the United States answer to The Crown, and instead of Queen Elizabeth II being the focus, it will instead be the 35th president of the United States, John F. Kennedy. Join me today as we take a look at what we know so far about the upcoming Netflix limited series.

The Crown has been a huge success for Netflix so it's really no surprise that they want to keep momentum going with another biographical series. This time across the pond in the US to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue where there is no shortage of political stories to be told. Variety has confirmed the series will be based on the critically acclaimed 2020 book, JFK Coming of Age in the American Century, 1917-1956, written by Frederick Lodgeval. This book being the first part of a planned two volume biography of Kennedy, book one examining his life from his birth up to his time as the junior US senator from Massachusetts and book two is expected to cover the remaining years of his life from 56 to 63. This series will likely cover all of these life events. Eric Roth most recently known for writing A Star Is Born, the film adaptation of June and Martin Scorsese's new film Killers of the Flower Moon is on board to direct and executive produce the project. Peter Cernan and Geno Topping of Cernan Entertainment will also executive produce, however the series is currently without a showrunner for whom Netflix is currently searching. Although sources at Netflix have said this show will be an American version of the crown to what extent that will be remains to be seen. Considering the series will begin with JFK's rise to power it could be expected that this story could spread throughout multiple seasons covering multiple stages of JFK's life, the campaigns, the scandals, Jackie and his assassination. Maybe they will even have a new cast every couple of seasons like we saw in the crown. But instead of consistently following one president my thinking would be that like the crown they call it something like the president, but then each season could focus on a different presidential story. The president season 1, JFK, season 2, Lincoln, Bush, Obama, Trump, etc. We know how Netflix loves quantity of content and this seems like a preferable option in that sense. For those that are fans of the crown you may remember that JFK was briefly portrayed in the show by Michael C Hall, but it is unlikely that Hall will reprise his role here as at this stage the crowns produces and not involved in the project. Which gets me thinking who could play a convincing JFK? We've previously had Bruce Greenwood, Brett Stimley, Greg Keneer, James Marsden, Rob Low, Casper Phillipson and Jeffrey Donovan just to name a few. Some great actors there but none I would say are definitively remembered for that role. So who would do the role justice? I'd love to hear what you think so let me know, I'll be down there in the comments.
