Kennedy film starring Matt Damon, now the streaming service, Hulu is planning on a TV series based on the politician for themselves. According to Deadline, Chris Pine will star as RFK in the untitled series from Todd E. Kessler (Bloodline, Damages).

            The limited series is based on Larry Tye’s book, Bobby Kennedy: The Making of a Liberal Icon, and will be the second show under Hulu to center around a Kennedy. The first being, the adaptation of the Stephen King novel, 11.22.63 that centered around JFK’s assassination. This is also the second television project Pine is attached to in recent months as he’s set to star in another miniseries, One Day She’ll Darken which will be directed by Patty Jenkins.
