The ReelzChannel released a new trailer for the controversial 8-part movie event The Kennedys, where Katie Holmes portrays iconic First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy—and you can watch it right here on RadarOnline.com.

The suspenseful teaser follows the Kennedy’s drive to power, with Academy Award nominee Tom Wilkinson as Joe Kennedy Sr., Barry Pepper as Bobby Kennedy and Greg Kinnear as John F. Kennedy.

The Kennedys was set to air on the History Channel this Spring, but in January A&E Television Networks pulled the plug on the controversial dramatic interpretation, after deciding it wasn’t a good fit.

We've got a sneak peek at Katie Holmes' new eight-part mini-series The Kennedys, in which she plays the elegant former First Lady Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy Onassis, better known as Jackie O.

Greg Kinnear plays John F. Kennedy and definitely looks the part. The piece documents Kennedy’s time in office prior to his assassination in November 1963.

The film was originally slated to air on The History Channel, but network officials pulled it last month, saying “this dramatic interpretation is not a fit for the History brand.”
