Variety reports that Kevin Bacon is preparing a series about Lincoln’s assassin John Wilkes Booth for Showtime.

Dubbed The Booths, the series will revolve around the family of John Wilkes Booth and his dysfunctional relationships in the years before Lincoln’s assassination.

Booth had two brothers – Edwin and Junius Brutus Jr. – with whom he performed on stage once, in a New York showing of Julius Caesar in 1864. He assassinated President Lincoln at Ford’s Theatre in 1865.
