Kelsey Grammer to host, executive produce new Fox Nation docudrama on George Washington ahead of July 4th

George Washington – commander of the Continental Army, first President of the United States, face of the dollar bill and the headstrong revolutionary who defeated an empire to build a nation.

Washington's story is not just a chapter but the very essence that infuses the spirit of America, a narrative embedded in the fabric of its legacy — and that story is being retold in a new way in the multipart Fox Nation docuseries debuting just in time for Independence Day.

Award-winning actor Kelsey Grammer hosts and executive produces "GEORGE: Rise of a Revolutionary," a riveting four-part combination of expert commentary and dramatic recreation that invites viewers to explore the lesser-known facets of the iconic Founding Father as a young man trying to earn his place in history.

"George Washington’s story is not over, thankfully. I truly enjoyed bringing this part of his life to light. I also truly enjoy the lens of history when focused on the times of today," Grammer said, per a press release detailing the series.

"With George’s spirit in mind, I suggest we all embrace the fortitude and enduring courage it may take to remain a free and independent America! I love George Washington and hope to do him proud," he added.

Viewers will be taken through Washington's life as a young, ambitious man with an eagerness to serve the Crown before transforming into the seasoned military hero who led the Continental Army — and a nation disillusioned with tyranny and taxes — to victory over the British.

Across four episodes, Fox Nation subscribers can witness the molding of one of America's founders into the person history knows and remembers as a tenacious opponent of tyranny, and a figure synonymous with the American spirit.

"This is the story of how a young man became father to his country," Grammer narrated in a preview of the series. "This is the story of the greatest American before there was an America. This is the story of George."
