This year, Hulu will be making its biggest push into the original programming game. And the streaming company plans to kick things off next month with the release of "11.22.63," the time-travel thriller series based on Stephen King's bestselling book -- which stars James Franco as a high school teacher who's given the unthinkable opportunity to travel back in time to stop the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

The nine-episode limited series, which also stars Chris Cooper, Josh Duhamel, Daniel Webber, Sarah Gadon, Lucy Fry, and T.R. Knight, is being executive produced by J.J. Abrams, who (you may have heard) just directed a small movie called "Star Wars: The Force Awakens."

Hulu has just released a new full-length trailer, which shows Franco traveling back to the year 1963 where he must solve the mystery of JFK's assassination (did Harvey Oswald really do it?), only to discover that there's a price for changing time, and the "price must be paid to make things right."

With "The Last King of Scotland" helmer Kevin Macdonald directing the first two episodes, "11.22.63" will start streaming on (what else?) President's Day, Monday February 15th.

synopsis:
Imagine having the power to change history. Would you journey down the “rabbit hole”? This eight–part event series follows Jake Epping (James Franco), an ordinary high school teacher, who is presented with the unthinkable mission of traveling back in time to prevent the assassination of John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. Jake is willing to live in the past in order to solve perhaps the greatest mystery of the 20th century -- who killed JFK, and could it have been stopped? As Jake tries to rewrite history, he discovers that the past does not want to be changed and will do anything to stop him.
