Key Points
  • 'Love Story' is now Disney+'s most streamed drama series
  • Social media searches for JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette grew over 9100%
  • First look images were for testing purposes, not actual show costumes

Social media interest in the historical figures has surged, with searches for JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette growing by more than 9100% in the past month, according to FX. The 'first look' images for 'Love Story' were unveiled in June 2025, but showrunner Ryan Murphy clarified to Variety that the outfits in those images were not from the show itself, instead cobbled together for lighting and color tests.

The costume designer for 'Love Story' aimed for accuracy in portraying Carolyn Bessette's style. Ryan Murphy's next project is reportedly in development.

Carolyn Bessette is clearly a religious figure and it’s a religion of her own.
