Few couples have captured the public’s imagination quite like Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and John F. Kennedy Jr. Their story, which was a blend of glamour and tragedy, still captivates the public even decades later after their untimely deaths in a plane crash in 1999.

With the new show being centered around their romantic relationship, it was confirmed that Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis would also be portrayed in the storyline, despite Carolyn never being introduced to the First Lady before her death.

It’s unknown who will be playing all of the members of the American royalty family. However, it was recently confirmed that Sarah Pidgeon, the young actress known for her standout role in 'The Wilds' and the critically acclaimed 'Tiny Beautiful Things' will be playing Carolyn.

While fans have already begun to speculate about how Pidgeon will embody Carolyn's minimalist style, many are also wondering about the casting of John F. Kennedy Jr., the other half of this magnetic couple. Though his role has yet to be announced, the anticipation around the casting of JFK Jr. is present.

The fascination behind their love story:

The public has never fully let go of the image of JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy as the perfect couple; beautiful, stylish, and eternally in love. They represented the last glimpse of old Hollywood glam, before the digital age and the paparazzi frenzy.

The union between the pair was both fairy-tale and real-life, a young couple with impeccable style, living in the shadow of an American legacy. The public’s obsession with their love story has reignited in new generations, who are learning about their story, and the new series promises to explore it.
