The trailer launch shifts attention to Sarah Pidgeon’s intensive preparation to portray Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy.

Overview

  • FX unveiled the first trailer for Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette, which premieres Feb. 12 on FX and streams on Hulu.
  • The debut drops the first three episodes at 9 p.m. ET, with new installments weekly on Thursdays, and the season runs nine episodes, according to USA TODAY.
  • Sarah Pidgeon (Carolyn Bessette) and Paul Anthony Kelly (John F. Kennedy Jr.) lead the cast, with Naomi Watts as Jackie Kennedy Onassis and Grace Gummer as Caroline Kennedy.

  • The series opens Ryan Murphy’s Love Story anthology, is inspired by Elizabeth Beller’s biography, and centers on a romance strained by relentless media attention.
