You can watch American Love Story (the new Ryan Murphy anthology about John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy) mainly through FX and Hulu right now.

Where to watch right now

  • FX (cable or live TV streaming)
    • New episodes air Thursdays on FX in prime time (U.S.).
* You can get FX through live-TV streaming bundles like DirecTV Stream, Fubo, Sling, and Hulu + Live TV, many of which offer short free trials.
  • Hulu (on‑demand streaming)
    • Episodes are available to stream on Hulu, with new ones dropping weekly after their FX broadcast.
* You can watch with any regular Hulu subscription (with or without ads).
  • Disney+ bundle / Hulu on Disney+
    • Episodes are also available via Hulu on Disney+ in markets where that integration is live.
* There is a promo where you can bundle Hulu with Disney+ at a discounted first month price.
  • Other platforms
    • As of early 2026, there’s no reliable indication that American Love Story is on Netflix or Amazon Prime Video; Hulu is the primary streaming home.

Quick options by situation

  • Already have Hulu?
    • Just search for “Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette” inside Hulu and stream on demand.
  • No cable, no Hulu yet?
    1. Start a Hulu trial (or Hulu on Disney+ bundle) and stream the episodes directly.
2. Or start a free trial with a live‑TV provider that carries FX (DirecTV Stream, Fubo, Sling, Hulu + Live TV) to watch live and then continue on Hulu if you like it.

Release timing

  • The series launched with a three‑episode premiere on February 12, 2026, on FX, with those same episodes on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ the same day.
  • It’s a nine‑episode season, with new episodes rolling out weekly on Thursdays through late March 2026.
