Overview

• The FX anthology series is currently in production with a Valentine’s Day 2026 premiere focusing on the romance and fatal 1999 plane crash of John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy.
• Jack Schlossberg said the Kennedy family was not consulted and called it “grotesque” to profit from the couple’s tragedy under New York law that bars posthumous privacy claims.
• Murphy responded by pledging to donate part of the series’ profits to the Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum.
• Early costume test photos sparked backlash over inaccurate recreations, prompting Murphy to highlight his 10-person style advisory board and the use of Bessette’s actual wardrobe pieces.
• The cast includes Paul Kelly as JFK Jr., Sarah Pidgeon as Carolyn Bessette Kennedy and Naomi Watts as Jackie Kennedy.
