'Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette' Premiere Held in NYC

On Feb. 12, the limited series Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette will debut on FX and Hulu with an initial multi-episode drop to start its rollout.
Ryan Murphy spearheaded a limited series about John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette, enlisting Color Force partners, while FX awaited Elizabeth Beller's 2024 book before production and Connor Hines created the scripted show.
Early production images prompted criticism, with producers screening about 13 candidates, including Kelly, and casting Sarah Pidgeon as Carolyn Bessette; Reggie called it 'an incredibly magical moment'.
Having finished filming in December, the series uses a weekly-drop model with new episodes releasing on Thursdays and positions its leads to gain visibility.
Creators intend to recast Carolyn Bessette by highlighting 1990s fashion and music, aiming to reframe her beyond tabloid portrayals and deepen viewers and critics' understanding.
