Production

After the success of Killing Lincoln, National Geographic Channel announced it would produce a film adaptation of Killing Kennedy.[7][8] In May 2013, it was announced that Rob Lowe was to play President John F. Kennedy, Ginnifer Goodwin would play First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy,[9][10] and Michelle Trachtenberg would portray Lee Harvey Oswald's wife Marina Oswald.[9] Goodwin used intimate photos to better portray Jackie Kennedy and was concerned "to do her justice and to play her as accurately as possible without ever doing an impression of her."[11] Costar Rob Lowe said of seeing Goodwin in the pink Chanel suit, "It made it real. If I were under any illusions about what we were doing, seeing her in that iconic moment was, I would say, sobering."[12] While portraying Marina Oswald, Trachtenberg consulted her Russian-born mother for help in speaking Russian.[13] Filming took place in Richmond, Virginia.[10][12]

Reception

On its original airing, it drew in 3,354,000 viewers, averaging a 1.1 rating with adults in the 25-54 demographic. The viewership broke the record previously held by Killing Lincoln which averaged 3,351,000 viewers.[14]

Critical response

Killing Kennedy received mixed reviews from both viewers and critics.[15][16][17][18] On Rotten Tomatoes the series holds an approval rating of 56% based on 18 reviews, with an average of 5.9/10.[19] On Metacritic, it has a weighted average score of 55 out of 100, based on 13 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[20]
