Disney+ has announced the launch of Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette, an FX miniseries which will arrive on the platform on February 13.

This first season inaugurates the Love Story anthology, designed to explore, with each new burst of episodes, an iconic romance. Here, place the dazzling alchemy between John F. Kennedy Jr. (the son of JFK) and Carolyn Bessette, their highly publicized love story, their marriage in the spotlight, and the way in which their couple became a symbol – as much fantasized as scrutinized – of the end of the 20th century.

In the cast, Sarah Pidgeon and Paul Anthony Kelly play this legendary duo. The series is inspired by Elizabeth Beller’s book, Once Upon a Time: The Captivating Life of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy.

Broadcast side: three episodes will be available from launch, then a new episode every Friday, until reaching 9 episodes of the season.
