Overview
- American Love Story has commenced production in New York City with Sarah Pidgeon portraying Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and Paul Kelly cast as John F. Kennedy Jr.
- Early stills released from camera tests show Pidgeon in a brown coat, cropped trousers and slingback heels that fans say resemble fast fashion rather than Bessette-Kennedy’s signature style.
- Critics have pointed to an empty Hermès Birkin bag and incorrect coat proportions as evidence that the wardrobe department missed key elements of her 1990s minimalist wardrobe.
- Naomi Watts is set to play Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in the anthology, and showrunner Ryan Murphy has agreed to donate series profits to the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum.
- The FX series is scheduled to premiere on FX and Hulu during Valentine’s Day week 2026, dramatizing the romance of one of America’s most famous couples.
