How is this acceptable?
Ahead of the United States’s 250th anniversary, FOX Nation will provide a glimpse behind the scenes of the early years in the White House with a new historical docudrama titled White House.
The docudrama, which will premiere on Feb. 6, 2026, with two new episodes debuting weekly, examines the earliest years of the U.S. through the lens of the White House and the various first families, confidants, and adversaries who filled the residence.
The series will transform the White House’s four walls into “a volatile stage where ambition, betrayal, romance, and rivalry collide behind closed doors,” according to the press release.
“While Americans know the broad strokes of our nation’s history, this series provides a revealing new perspective on what unfolded inside the president’s home during its earliest years,” FOX Nation President Lauren Petterson said. “We are thrilled to share this gripping and immersive look inside the American legacy.”
Throughout the series, various historical figures who roamed the White House halls during different scandals and events emerge to reenact major moments from history, including Abigail Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Dolley Madison, Aaron Burr, and Alexander Hamilton. Historians and experts set the scene and provide context to the audience about the moment’s significance.
Nutopia produced the series, with Jim Greayer as showrunner and Hereward Pelling as director. Ben Goold and Jane Root are executive producers.
The series, which the Washington Examiner obtained early access to, has eight episodes, each about 25-30 minutes long.

When Adams moved in, Under the Roof author Paul Brandus described the United States as a “very young country.” Historian Jesse J. Holland said Adams was essentially “living in a construction site” as he was trying to “conduct the business” of the nation.
The experts explained how the White House got its name, noting that people did not know what to call the building at the time. “Presidential palace” and “presidential mansion” were among some of the earlier suggested names.
The building is white because of the materials used to make it “weather-proof,” historian Patrick Spero said. It was not until 1901, …
