'The Kennedys' finally finds a home

The controversial Kennedy miniseries staring Greg Kinnear and Katie Holmes has officially found a buyer: ReelzChannel will air The Kennedys starting April 3, the New Mexico-based network announced today. The eight-part miniseries marks ReelzChannel’s first original scripted programming, although the project famously was produced for The History Channel, until that basic cable network canceled it last month. The trailer is below:

    um ok….this has the possibility to be seen by 3 people and an alpaca?

  • graeme

    That looks pretty dang good. The acting looks outstanding.

    • elr

      I know, much better than I thought since so many networks didn’t buy it.

  • harry

    I’ll buy it when it comes out on DVD.

  • Loser17

    Awesome. I Love ReelzChannel.

  • James

    Not on my system.

    • AcaseofGeo

      What the heck is “ReelzChannel” anyway? How do all these tiny networks with tiny audiences survive?

  • Tom Cruise

    Katie Holmes sucks.

    • Brett

      Not in this role. She’s playing Jackie Kennedy, who was famous for never sucking.

      • Tterb

        If she’s suppossed to play someone who doesn’t suck, it will make her suck harder as an “actress” when she invariably fails. Your point is moot.

    • reason

      not always, she was the MVP on Dawson’s Creek and very good in Wonder Boys, The Ice Storm…

  • John Berggren

    I’m guessing they picked it up just because they knew they’d get mentioned in the press for having done so. Never heard of them. No interest in the mini-series.

  • greg

    What the heck is ReelChannelz?

    • Holly

      It’s a channel about movies. They air movies, discuss movies, and review movies.

  • ashlee

    I can’t wait. The acting looks superb. Holmes is spooky as Jackie. She even nails the breathy, hushed voice Jackie was famous for.

  • Lynn

    YAY! I was bummed when History passed because I wanted to see Greg Kinnear in this. And I get Reelz so I can!!

  • Liver

    This is happy news! I can’t wait!

  • Annette

    Reelzchannel is a television channel about movies where they talk about upcoming movies, review movies and past movies.

  • pL

    Whoa…I can’t believe I actually have that channel. Looking forward to it!

  • James

    Reelzchannel also shows reruns of 3rd Rock From the Sun and Newsradio!

  • jam

    This is great news! I can’t wait! Thank you ReelzChannel!
