Valentine’s Day is just over the horizon, and set to stage on Disney+ is Ryan Murphy’s Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette which will explore the modern day fairytale shared between America’s Prince, John F. Kennedy Jr. (Paul Anthony Kelly), and his bride Carolyn Bessette (Sarah Pidgeon) and their windswept romance that caught mesmorised the public, and which sadly end in unfathomable tragedy.
And with the series soon to go to air, we’ve been treated to an all-new look at the series, and the emotions run high.
Watch the brand new trailer for Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette below:
Inspired by Elizabeth Beller’s Once Upon a Time: The Captivating Life of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, the series captures the lightning-strike chemistry between John F. Kennedy Jr. (Paul Anthony Kelly), America’s closest thing to royalty, and Carolyn Bessette (Sarah Pidgeon), a fiercely independent fashion force whose elegance and restraint made her an icon in her own right.
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.
Featuring 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), “Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette” charts the complex and heartbreaking journey of a couple whose private love became a national obsession.
Regarded as the American It couple of the 1990s, the relationship between Carolyn Bessette and John Kennedy Jr. intersected politics, fashion, media, and pop culture, and Love Story aims to heighten the story’s intensity. Framing it from the perspective of Pidgeon’s Carolyn, Love Story looks set to explore both the romance, but the intense pressure that comes with the Kennedy name, and the mounting media attention of a love played out in front of the camera, and there’s plenty of drama to hook audiences in.
The trailer, set to Japanese Breakfast’s ‘Head Over Heels’ draws you in right from the start, and for audiences who are looking to be caught up in a series that fully explores the romantic, yet flawed relationship shared by Bessette and JFK Jr, they’ll get it in their series.
Prepare to let Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette wash over you when it arrives on Disney+ on February 13.
