“You don’t know what thoughts I was having.”
This is how the new trailer for “American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez” begins.
The first part of Ryan Murphy’s miniseries is based on the podcast “Gladiator: Aaron Hernandez and Football Inc.” from The Boston Globe and Wondery and examines the meteoric rise and tragic fall of the former NFL star.
Josh Rivera plays Aaron Hernandez, a star football player for the Florida Gators at the University of Florida who was drafted by the New England Patriots in 2010. He was arrested in 2013 for the murder of Odin Floyd, who was dating the sister of Hernandez’s fiancée.
Hernandez was sentenced to life in prison in 2015. During the trial, he was also charged with the murder of two men in 2012, but was acquitted of those charges. He committed suicide in his prison cell in 2017.
The 10-part series also stars Jaylen Barron as Shayanna Jenkins, Lindsay Mendez as Tanya Singleton, Ean Castellanos as DJ Hernandez, Tammy Blanchard as Terri Hernandez, Tony Yazbeck as Urban Meyer, Patrick Schwarzenegger as Tim Tebow, Thomas Sadoski as Brian Murphy, Jake Cannavale as “Chris” and Norbert Leo Butz as Patriots coach Bill Belichick.
“American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez” premieres September 17 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on FX and streams the next day on Hulu.
