With just a single photo released from their wedding day, much of the relationship between John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette remains shrouded in romanticized legend: the courtship between the fashion publicist and the scion of an already much-mythologized family, the private nuptials and, just three years later, their deaths in a tragic plane crash.

The new FX and Hulu series premiering Thursday, "Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette," attempts to fill in the gaps and chronicle their life together. It details a meet cute at a party and culminates in the deaths of the couple and Bessette's sister Lauren Bessette on July 16, 1999, when a small plane piloted by Kennedy crashed into the Atlantic Ocean.

Jack Schlossberg, Kennedy's nephew, spoke out against the series last year, saying it was profiting off his family "in a grotesque way" accusing executive producer Ryan Murphy of "making millions" off Kennedy's legacy. Murphy retaliated on California Gov. Gavin Newsom's podcast, saying it was an "odd choice to be mad about your relative that you really don't remember." Schlossberg, now running for Congress in New York, took to social media to share memories of his uncle.

Murphy was absent from the recent press circuit for "Love Story," but executive producer Brad Simpson — a veteran of Murphy's based-on-a-true-story "American Crime Story" projects — told The Associated Press that the creative team is "fully aware that there are real people and real tragedies often at the heart of these stories."

"I'm not going to pretend like on some level we're not making an entertainment product out of it, but we've tried to be ethical and we've tried to be incredibly sincere," Simpson said.
