The Kennedys are getting The Crown treatment. In October 2025, Netflix announced a new family drama series about the Kennedys and the American dynasty they created over the course of the 20th century. The actors playing the crucial roles of John F. Kennedy, Joe Kennedy Jr., and more were announced in January 2026, and Netflix has now unveiled a slate of new cast members. The streamer also revealed a first look photo of Michael Fassbender as Kennedy patriarch, Joe Kennedy Sr.
Kennedy, based on Fredrik Logevall’s book JFK: Coming of Age in the American Century, 1917-1956, will explore the triumphs and tragedies of the most famous American family. Netflix has already revealed key details about Kennedy, including who will play young Jack Kennedy. Scroll down to learn more about the upcoming Kennedy series and the big names who have joined the drama.
