Synopsis of 11.22.63

Jake Epping is a newly divorced English teacher who teaches in Lisbon, Maine. His old friend Al Templeton asks him to travel back in time to 1960 with a specific mission: stop the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, scheduled for November 22, 1963. Jake agrees, but he starts building a life in that past, and that could derail the plan. The series, created by Bridget Carpenter, airs on Hulu and stars James Franco as the lead character. Running eight episodes, it adapts the novel of the same name by Stephen King, and J. J. Abrams serves as an executive producer alongside King himself.
