Overview

• Sarah Pidgeon and Paul Kelly are filming in Manhattan, with Kelly’s navy suit and bike-riding scenes echoing John F. Kennedy Jr.’s iconic ’90s look.
• Early camera test stills drew criticism for featuring an ashy platinum wig and a mis-sized Birkin bag that departed from Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy’s signature style.
• Ryan Murphy clarified those images were solely for lighting and color tests and assured viewers that final costumes will reflect historical accuracy.
• A ten-person style advisory board now oversees wardrobe and has sourced authentic vintage items—such as Prada boots and a replica wedding dress—to faithfully recreate the couple’s wardrobe.
• The series is scheduled to premiere on Valentine’s Day 2026, and Murphy has pledged to donate a portion of profits to the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library.
