This is my first post here, so please forgive me if I'm out in left field.
With the 250th Anniversary of the U.S. coming up in 2026, I thought this might make a great series.
I am a 79-year-old news editor. I'm looking for a collaborator on a documented non-fiction story that follows, father to son, from 1680 to the present. I'm hoping to hand this project to a group or individual who can steer it through. My interest is in getting the story produced. It's not a money thing for me.
Thousands of events boiled down to twenty-five words or less:
We were bright and chirpy in a bunch of interesting stuff: American Revolution, Tennessee Longhunters, early Indianapolis race crew, WWII smuggler, Grapes of Wrath folks.
If it's appropriate to post a bit more here, let me know, and I'll put up some more information.

Well done on making your first post :)
Sounds more like a book than a series. For television, audiences want to come back to the same characters and setting each week. If you advance through a multi-generational story that spans 300 years, what do we latch onto? That's assuming you have dozens of separate, compelling stories to tell. I recall Pillars of the Earth, a show based on the book by Ken Follett. The long form nature of the story made it difficult for me to hook in to any characters for long.
