If you’ve gotten to the end of the and want more, there’s a lavish
dramatic retelling of his life, love and tragic death coming, but
you’ll have to wait a bit.
In the tradition of his Emmy-winning anthologies “American Horror
Story” and “American Crime Story,” TV dynamo will next year
unveil “American Love Story,” focusing on John F. Kennedy Jr. and
his wife Carolyn Bessette. It’s another in-depth exploration of a
headline-grabbing story from 1990s-era America; Murphy’s “Crime
Story” anthology has so far explored the stories of the O.J. Simpson
trial, the assassination of Gianni Versace, and the Clinton-Lewinsky
scandal. He also explored the Menendez brothers double-murder trial in
his “Monsters” anthology.
“American Love Story” is set to explore JFK Jr. and Bessette’s
courtship and marriage, as well as their tragic deaths in a 1999 plane
crash off of Martha’s Vineyard, according to IMDb. Here’s what else
we know about the series so far.
The cast
The show will feature a cast portraying some of the most iconic
personalities of the last century, including Jacqueline Kennedy
Onassis, mother to JFK Jr. The former first lady will be played by
Naomi Watts, who previously collaborated with Murphy on his “Feud:
Capote vs. the Swans” series.
Another notable name that comes up is Grace Gummer, Meryl Streep’s
daughter, who will portray JFK Jr.’s sister Caroline Kennedy.
As for the central couple, JFK Jr. will be played by relatively unknown
actor Paul Anthony Kelly, whose sole prior credit is a 2010 television
series titled “Body Language.” Carolyn Bessette will be portrayed
by Sarah Pidgeon, who previously acted in “The Wilds” and “Tiny
Beautiful Things” and is featured in this summer’s horror reboot
“I Know What You Did Last Summer.”
Other famed personalities in the series will include Calvin Klein, to
be played by Alessandro Nivola, and Edwin Schlossberg, who will be
played by “Angels in America” star Ben Shenkman.
Uproar over some first look images
Very much mirroring the insane scrutiny that the featured couple had to
endure during their lifetimes, various photos from the production of
“American Love Story” caused quite the media stir earlier this
summer, when everything from to hair color received .
Bessette-Kennedy was a style maven in the ’90s, and all eyes are on
the character’s looks in the finished show. Things reached a fever
pitch when her former colorist spoke to about Pidgeon’s hair color
being “totally wrong.” Even Murphy himself spoke up about it all,
telling in June, “Carolyn Bessette is clearly a religious figure and
it’s a religion of her own. It’s very interesting that people
become so inflammatory.”
Release date
“American Love Story” is set for release in February 2026, with a
streaming release noted on IMDb as February 14.
