American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez Release Schedule: When Do New Episodes Come Out?

Following the critically acclaimed American Crime Story: The People v. O. J. Simpson, Ryan Murphy explores the life of another celebrity athlete tried for murder: Aaron Hernandez. The FX limited series, titled American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez, dramatizes the struggles the New England Patriots tight end faced throughout his life as investigators attempt to piece together exactly why he murdered his friend Odin Lloyd.

Based on the podcast Gladiator: Aaron Hernandez and Football Inc. as well as reporting from The Boston Globe, the series plans to dive into Hernandez’s sexuality, history of family abuse, drug addiction, conviction, suicide, and posthumous CTE diagnosis. Josh AndrĂ©s Rivera (West Side Story) stars as Hernandez, with Patrick Schwarzenegger (yes, Arnold’s son) playing quarterback Tim Tebow.
