JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette Story Now Moving Forward For “American Love Story” At FX

A new American Story entry is moving forward at FX, with the new American Love Story moving forward, telling the story of John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette, according to Variety. 

What’s Happening:

  • A new entry into the American Story franchise at FX is closer to reality as Executive Producers Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson confirmed that American Love Story is moving forward at the network with a story recounting John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette.
  • Jacobson and Simpson, who have been working with Ryan Murphy since the first American Crime Story back in 2016, also told Variety that “We have great scripts on that [story]. We’re trying to figure out when it’ll land.”
  • The new series, American Love Story, was originally announced back in 2021, when a season of American Crime Story was revealed that was focused on Studio 54. This would be the fourth installment of that series, which follows “The People Vs. O.J. Simpson,” “The Assassination of Gianni Versace,” and “Impeachment,” which focused on the Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinski scandal.
  • The subject of Studio 54 seems unlikely for the fourth season however, with an absence of updates and Brad Simpson telling Variety, “The reason we can never announce anything, ever again, is because once, Ryan said ‘Studio 54’ and now it’s 10 years later, and in every interview we have, people bring it up.” Reportedly, there are options for the subject matter of a fourth season of American Crime Story, but nothing has been confirmed.
  • As for the American Story franchise, the latest edition – American Sports Story – focused on Aaron Hernandez, debuts on FX tonight, September 17th, with new episodes weekly.
