Watch Love Story: Synopsis
From exec producer Ryan Murphy, the man best known for horror-themed series and fictionalized accounts of notorious serial killers, comes this new anthology about great American romances that made the public swoon – and arriving just in time for Valentine's Day! The inaugural season will follow the highly publicised courtship of JFK. Jr. and Carolyn Bassette, through 1990s NY until their untimely demise. It’s bound to be a heart-swelling weepy, so grab a hanky as we explain below how to watch Love Story online from anywhere.
They say a good love is worth waiting for. We certainly hope so! Initially dubbed American Love Story, the fifth installment in the Emmy-winning American Story franchise was greenlit way back in 2021, and follows on from series like American Horror Story and American Crime Story. Though contrary to those overtly violent shows, Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette promises to uplift and enchant rather than impale. Still, it's no picnic in the park, and the real-life story of the famous couple is one rife with struggle and tragedy.
Created by Connor Hines and based on Elizabeth Beller’s book Once Upon a Time: The Captivating Life of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, the limited series will chart the nine-year-long relationship between JFK Jr., a lawyer, journalist, and son of the 35th US president, and fashion publicist Carolyn Bessette. Upon meeting in 1992, their attraction is immediate (think “50 Shades of JFK”). They eventually marry in 1996. Yet Carolyn bristles under the constant media scrutiny that comes from marrying into the “American royal family,” and the pressure threatens to tear their relationship apart.
So, who’s stepping into the shoes of these treasured American icons? Actor Paul Kelly makes his TV debut as “John-John,” bringing his good looks to the role of the Kennedy heir voted “Sexiest Man Alive” by People in 1988, while Tony-nominated actress Sarah Pidgeon (Tiny Beautiful Things) plays Carolyn, the 1990s style icon who worked for Calvin Kline. They’re ably supported by Ryan Murphy regular Naomi Watts (Feud: Capote vs. The Swans, All’s Fair), Alessandro Nivola (Coco Before Channel), and Dree Hemingway as JFK Jr’s former flame, Roxanne actress Daryl Hannah.
Ready for some heartfelt romance this Valentines? Just read on, and you could watch Love Story online from anywhere in the world – and potentially 100% free.
Can I watch Love Story for free?
Those new to YouTube TV can watch Love Story and explore the platform with its 10-day free trial (available until February 18 at 11:59pm PT). The first three episodes will air on FX from Thursday, February 12 at 9pm ET/PT, with one new episode arriving each week thereafter.
Another option is to subscribe via Hulu. Its on-demand plan provides a 30-day free trial to those who haven’t previously signed up, which means you could stream multiple episodes of Love Story without paying a thing. These are added to the service the very next day after their linear FX broadcast.
And if you’re a US citizen currently overseas? A VPN will allow you to make the most of your free trial no matter what country you’re streaming from.
How to watch Love Story from anywhere
If you're a US citizen on vacation or working overseas, you can still watch Love Story online just as you would at home.
While services like YouTube TV and Hulu are restricted the US, there's a handy piece of software called a VPN that can change your IP address to make it look like you're accessing streaming services from any country in the world.
For example, US citizens overseas can subscribe to a VPN, join a US-based server and access their subscription from anywhere in the world, just like they would back home.
How to use a VPN to unblock streaming services:
1. Choose your ideal VPN and install – our go-to recommendation for unblocking is NordVPN, costing from $3.99 a month with its 2-year plan
2. Connect to a server – for FX, for example, you'll want to connect to a server based in the US
3. Go to the stream you wish to access - for Love Story, head to YouTube TV or your preferred streaming service.
How to watch Love Story online in the US
Those based in the US have a few options to watch Love Story. Ryan Murphy’s new anthology series debuts on FX from Thursday, February 12 at 9pm ET/PT. The show will debut with three back-to-back episodes, followed by solo new installments every week.

When you promo period ends, the next two months are discounted at $52.99 a month before reverting to the standard price of $82.99. And you can cancel at any time.
Alternatively, Hulu offers both live TV and on-demand options. Hulu (With Ads) + Live TV comes with a 3-day free trial (you’ll pay $89.99 per month thereafter). Better than that , though, Hulu’s on-demand plan comes with a generous 30-day free trial to new and eligible subscribers. Plus, subsequent monthly payments are much cheaper at $11.99 per month, although you'll have to wait until early Friday mornings for episodes of Love Story to drop.
Those after even more bang for their buck might consider snagging a Disney Plus bundle, because the ad-supported Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Select option will cost just $19.99 a month – almost 50% less than if you bought each service separately.
