Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette Rolls Out Trailer and New York Premiere Ahead of Feb. 12 FX/Hulu Debut

Early styling backlash prompted an overhaul for period accuracy, according to the producers.

Overview

  • The series held a packed New York screening at Carnegie Hall, where Ryan Murphy introduced the show and the cast received an enthusiastic response.
  • FX released a new trailer that frames the couple’s 1990s romance under intense public attention without revealing story turns.
  • The show launches with three episodes on Feb. 12 on FX and Hulu, followed by weekly installments to complete a nine-episode season.
  • Producers say feedback on test images led to dyeing Sarah Pidgeon’s hair, replacing the original costume designer with Rudy Mance, conducting reshoots, and sourcing period pieces to refine authenticity.
  • Positioned as the first entry in Murphy’s Love Story anthology, the limited series stars Sarah Pidgeon and Paul Anthony Kelly, with Naomi Watts, Grace Gummer and Alessandro Nivola, and draws inspiration from Elizabeth Beller’s biography.
