Hulu looks like it has a hit on its hands.
The streaming service has released the trailer for "11.22.63" from "Star Wars" director J.J. Abrams.
The eight-part series is based on the best-selling Stephen King novel of the same which asks one question, "What if you could change the past?" James Franco will star as the teacher, Jake Epping, who gets sent back in time to 1958 to prevent JFK's assassination.
It includes a big cast in Chris Cooper, Josh Duhamel, and Daniel Webber. Abrams serves as producer on the series.
"This is a book that I had loved long before Stephen King reached out and asked if I'd be interested in getting involved to produce,"Abrams said at the Television Critics Association Saturday. "We did go out to a number of places and had some offers, but the enthusiasm [at Hulu] was clear and it matched ours."
This very well could be the show which helps get more people talking about Hulu's original programming.
"11.22.63" will be released February 15, 2016. Yes, Presidents Day.
