Executive producer Ryan Murphy continues casting a wide creative net across the pop culture landscape with a broad range of television series, from 9-1-1 to American Horror Story to Doctor Odyssey to All's Fair, and so many more. Earlier today, we learned when Murphy's next (and already controversial) series will hit FX and Hulu screens. Along with a key art poster to make it official, it was announced that FX's Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette will premiere globally on Thursday, February 12, with an FX/Hulu three-episode debut at 9 p.m. EST (and internationally on Disney+), with one new episode of the nine-episode limited series airing weekly. Here's a look at the poster that was released, followed by an official overview:

It was a love story that captured the attention of the nation: John F. Kennedy Jr. (Paul Anthony Kelly) was the closest thing to American royalty. The country watched him grow from a boy to a beloved bachelor and media sensation. Carolyn Bessette (Sarah Pidgeon) was a star in her own right. Fiercely independent and with a singular style, she rose from being a sales assistant to an executive at Calvin Klein and became a trusted confidante of its eponymous founder. John and Carolyn's connection was immediate, electric, and undeniable. As their love story unfolded on a national stage, the intense fame and media attention that came along with it threatened to rip them apart.

Inspired by Elizabeth Beller's book Once Upon a Time: The Captivating Life of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, the upcoming season of the anthology series also stars Grace Gummer (Caroline Kennedy), Naomi Watts (Jackie Kennedy Onassis), Alessandro Nivola (Calvin Klein), Leila George (Kelly Klein), Sydney Lemmon (Lauren Bessette), and Constance Zimmer (Ann Marie Messina).

Produced by 20th Television, FX's Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette is created by Connor Hines and executive produced by Hines, Ryan Murphy, Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson, Eric Kovtun, Nissa Diederich, Scott Robertson, Monica Levinson, Kim Rosenstock, D.V. DeVincentis, and Tanase Popa. Max Winkler executive-produced and directed the pilot episode.
