DEFCON-2
Project type
Limited TV Series
Date
TBD
Based on Sheldon Stern's bestselling nonfiction book, The Week the World Stood Still, DEFCON-2 focuses on the events of the Cuban Missile Crisis not only through the eyes of President Kennedy and his brother, Bobby, but through those that surrounded them, namely Associate Press Secretary and White House speechwriter, Andrew T. Hatcher (at the time, the highest ranking African American in the West Wing) and Presidential secretary Jill Cowen, whose transcription of the ExComm tapes gave her a front-row seat to a world on the brink of destruction.
Franco and Kilgore will write and executive produce the series. Goodman will also executive produce along with Matt Skiena and Peter Eskelsen.
