Kevin Spacey Bringing Presidential Docuseries to CNN
Oscar winner Kevin Spacey, who currently stars as politician Frank Underwood in Netflix’s House of Cards, will be narrating a CNN documentary series about running for president.
The series, titled Race For The White House, will consist of six one-hour episodes. It will be executive produced by Spacey and Dana Brunetti and co-produced by Raw and Trigger Street Productions.
“Each hour will tell the story of a four-year, no-holds-barred battle to become the most powerful person in the world, culminating in a single night of heart pounding tension,” the press release reads. “From powerful campaign speeches to the dirty tricks and Machiavellian schemes, Race for the White House will capture the drama of how a high-stakes presidential election can turn on a single issue and so much more.”
CNN will use archive footage, interviews with key players and dramatic re-creations in the series.
Race for the White House is set to premiere in 2016.
