Love Story follows the real-life romance of John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette
Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette is gearing up to captivate audiences with some real-life political romance.
The first installment of Ryan Murphy's Love Story anthology tells the dramatized story of the whirlwind romance between John F. Kennedy Jr. (Paul Anthony Kelly) — who was President John F. Kennedy and first lady Jackie Kennedy's son — and Carolyn Bessette (Sarah Pidgeon).
The trailer, which was released on Feb. 2, shows what the series will include — from their first meeting to the frenzy of press surrounding them. The nine-episode series was inspired from Elizabeth Beller’s book Once Upon a Time: The Captivating Life of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and also features Grace Gummer, Naomi Watts, Alessandro Nivola, Leila George, Sydney Lemmon and Constance Zimmer.
"John and Carolyn’s connection was immediate, electric and undeniable," the show's description reads. "As their love story unfolded on a national stage, the intense fame and media attention that came along with it threatened to rip them apart."
The limited series premieres on FX and Hulu on Feb. 12 at 9 p.m. ET and includes the next two episodes, as well. From there, new episodes will hit the streamer every Thursday at 9 p.m. ET until the ninth and final episode on March 26.
Here's everything to know about the Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette episode release schedule.
When does Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette premiere?
Sarah Pidgeon as Carolyn Bessette Kennedy and Paul Kelly as John F. Kennedy Jr. in 'Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette'.
The first three episodes of Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette drop simultaneously at 9 p.m. ET on Thursday, Feb. 12. The premiere date marks the only time when more than one episode will be released on the same day.
Afterward, one new episode will be available to watch every Thursday until the season finale on March 26.
Among other aspects, the first few episodes will introduce both Bessette — an independent career-driven employee at Calvin Klein — and JFK Jr. — one of the biggest heartthrobs and political figures of the 1990s.
The trailer depicts how the powerful individuals met through her work and quickly fell in love. As their romance heats up, they're also faced with scrutiny from both his political family and the media. At one point, Bessette comes to terms with the reality of being a Kennedy.
“It’s not a question of if I want to spend the rest of my life with you,” she tells JFK Jr. “It’s a question of if I’m cut out to be Mrs. JFK Jr.”
Bessette and JFK Jr. ultimately married in September 1996 and remained together until their deaths on July 16, 1999. The couple died after a plane JFK Jr. was piloting crashed off the coast of Martha's Vineyard.
