Get ready to laugh and gasp as the trailer for the wild ride known as American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez has finally dropped!
In this comedic drama extravaganza, Josh Andres Rivera stars as Aaron Hernandez, the tight end turned courtroom drama star. Hernandez, once a football hero with the New England Patriots, went from touchdown celebrations to courtroom drama, only to finish off his saga with a dramatic exit from this world in 2017. Talk about a plot twist!
Created by the king of outrageous storytelling, Ryan Murphy, this series is based on the podcast Gladiator: Aaron Hernandez and Football Inc. It’s got everything: the rise of an NFL superstar, family drama, career highs and lows, and, yes, some seriously crazy plotlines. It’s like mixing sports with a soap opera and adding a sprinkle of dark humor—just what you needed!
And the cast? Oh boy, it’s a star-studded affair! Patrick Schwarzenegger will play Tim Tebow, because why not? Norbert Leo Butz is stepping into Coach Bill Belichick’s shoes, and the cast also includes Jaylen Barron, Lindsay Mendez, Ean Castellanos, Tammy Blanchard, Tony Yazbeck, Thomas Sadoski, and Jake Cannavale. It’s basically a lineup of “Hey, I know that guy/girl!” moments.
Mark your calendars for September 17th when American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez makes its debut on FX. And if you can’t wait, you can stream it on Hulu, where you can binge-watch and question your life choices. Buckle up!
