Wed Sep 18 01:37:10 UTC 2024: ## Ryan Murphy’s “American Love Story” Still in Development, Focusing on JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette
**Los Angeles, CA** – Despite a flurry of other Ryan Murphy projects in the works, the upcoming “American Love Story” series is still alive and kicking, focusing on the tragic love story of John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette.
Executive producers Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson confirmed to Variety that the FX series has scripts ready and is actively searching for a launch window. “It’s a story that really resonates right now,” Jacobson stated. “A lot of younger women are looking to [Carolyn Bessette] as a representational icon of a certain period of time that’s really fascinating.”
The series was initially announced in 2021 alongside a potential fourth season of “American Crime Story” focusing on Studio 54. While there have been no official updates on the latter, Simpson explained the difficulty in confirming projects before they’re ready. “We develop multiple things and multiple ideas,” he shared. “We’ve learned if we announce something, it becomes a Wikipedia entry.”
Fans eagerly await the arrival of both series, adding to the already packed schedule of Ryan Murphy’s television empire, which includes projects ranging from the Kardashian-starring “All’s Fair” to the latest season of “American Horror Story.” “American Love Story” promises to offer a fresh perspective on the iconic couple, capturing the zeitgeist of a bygone era while exploring the timeless themes of love, loss, and legacy.
