National Geographic Channel said it will produce a movie based on Fox News Channel host Bill O’Reilly’s new book, Killing Reagan.

The network’s three top-rated programs ever have been movies based on O’Reilly’s previous books, Killing Lincoln, Killing Kennedy and Killing Jesus.

Like the previous entries, Killing Reagan will be produced by Scott Free Productions. It is expected to air on National Geographic Channel around the world in 2016.

“Their formula for translating these stories from the page to the screen, using A-list talent both in front of and behind the camera, has proven to be successful with both audiences and the industry at large,” O'Reilly said of Scott Free.

National Geographic Channel set an all-time ratings record with 3.7 million viewers, the network announced Monday.

The original movie, based on Bill O’Reilly's best-selling book, bested the 3.4 million viewers generated by the 2013 movie Killing Kennedy, according to Nielsen. Killing Jesus also garnered a 2.8 household rating, marking the second-highest in network history, according to Nat Geo.

Furthermore, the 1.0 rarting among adults 25-54 is the highest rated for the demo since Killing Kennedy and is more than 300% higher than NGC’s Sunday 8-11 p.m. average so far this calendar year, according to Nat Geo.

“Killing Jesus was our most ambitious production to date, coupled with one of our largest cross-platform promotional campaigns,” said National Geographic Channels CEO Courteney Monroe in a statement. “We are thrilled that audiences responded to the film with the same enthusiasm and passion we had for this production since day one. The success of our premiere last night is due to the hard work and dedication of the production team on the ground in Morocco, the talented and versatile cast and the support of our partners at National Geographic and Fox.”

Killing Jesus will encore on Fox News Channel this Friday, April 3, at 8 p.m. ET and Easter Sunday, April 5, at 8 p.m. ET/PT, said Nat Geo.
