With FX's American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez set to premiere on Tuesday, September 17th (with a two-episode opener kicking off at 10 pm ET/PT; streaming the next day on Hulu), we're getting our best look yet at EP Ryan Murphy's latest effort with the release of an official teaser.  Based on the podcast Gladiator: Aaron Hernandez and Football Inc. from The Boston Globe and Wondery, the 10-episode limited series examines the rise and fall of NFL superstar Aaron Hernandez and explores the disparate strands of his identity, his family, his career, his suicide, and their legacy in sports and American culture.

FX's American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez stars Josh Rivera (Aaron Hernandez), Jaylen Barron (Shayanna Jenkins), Lindsay Mendez (Tanya Singleton), Ean Castellanos (DJ Hernandez), Tammy Blanchard (Terri Hernandez), Tony Yazbeck (Urban Meyer), Patrick Schwarzenegger (Tim Tebow), Thomas Sadoski (Brian Murphy), Jake Cannavale ("Chris"), and Norbert Leo Butz (Bill Belichick). Now, here's a look at the official key art poster for the season that was previously released – with the first official teaser waiting for you above.

"When Ryan Murphy came to us with these two spinoffs and the stories for 'American Sports Story' and 'American Love Story,' we immediately jumped at the opportunity," shared FX Networks head John Landgraf back in 2021 when the anthology series was first announced. "What began with 'American Horror Story' has spawned some of the best and most indelible programs of our generation, most notably 'American Crime Story,' which created a beautiful partnership between Ryan, Brad, Nina, and Brad. Their alchemy and the way in which they construct these stories is done with such care, such clarity, and such dimensionality that creates the magnificence that is 'The People v. O.J. Simpson,' 'The Assassination of Gianni Versace,' and 'Impeachment.' We can't wait to see what comes next."

Produced by 20th Television, FX's American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez is executive produced by Ryan Murphy, Stuart Zicherman, Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson, Alexis Martin Woodall, Eric Kovtun, Scott Robertson, and Carl Franklin. Hernan Lopez and Marshall Lewy of Wondery also serve as executive producers alongside Linda Pizzuti Henry and Ira Napoliello of The Boston Globe.
