Death by LightningOverviewBased on the true story of James Garfield and on the novel "Destiny of the Republic" by Candice Millard. It will bring to life the stranger-than-fiction true story of James Garfield, reluctant 20th president of the United States, and his greatest admirer Charles Guiteau — the man who would come to kill him. Garfield had a very short run while in office from March 1881 through September. Despite only being elected president for that short period, he managed to change America in his short months in office. He was shot by Guiteau, who felt he had played a major role in Garfield’s election.First airedNovember 6, 2025URL slugdeath-by-lightningGenresMiniserieDramaHistoriskBilderPlakatBakgrunnIkonBannerSesongerSpesialer0 episoderSesong 14 episoderSkuespillere og stabRollebesetning — James Garfield — Charles Guiteau — Lucretia "Crete" Garfield — Chester Alan Arthur — James Blaine — Mollie Garfield — Jim Garfield Jr. — Roscoe Conkling
