Docuseries DebutFor their latest PBS docuseries, Ken Burns and Lynn Novick (The Vietnam War) are turning their lens on literary legend Ernest Hemingway. The three-part doc looks past the legend, though, digging into Hemingway's abusive behavior, interest in gender fluidity, and much more, going beyond the hard-drinking "man's man" the For Whom the Bell Tolls author (voiced in the series by Jeff Daniels) has been mythologized as. "The macho facade is superficial," Burns previously told EW. "I think this is one of the reasons why you can't just say, 'Oh, dead white male, goodbye.' It's as complex a biography as we've ever worked on." —Tyler Aquilina
