deadline.com101 Studios secured the rights to the NYT Bestseller White House By The Sea: A Century of the Kennedys At Hyannis Port and are fast-tracking it for a television adaptation.
Written by Rolling Stone‘s Kate Story and published June 27 by Scribner, White House By The Sea is the multi-generational story of the Kennedy family as seen through their Hyannis Port compound on Cape Cod.
