- Quick Answer: Showrunner Connor Hines teased Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton for Love Story Season 2, citing their "intensity" as the perfect follow-up to the JFK Jr. season.
Love Story showrunner Connor Hines recently teased about the next couple that they might tackle in a potential second season.
The hit FX anthology show's first season, which centers on the whirlwind romance of John F. Kennedy, Jr. and Carolyn Bessette, is about to air its final episode this week. Fans are already wondering what's next for the series and which popular celebrity couple they might tackle for their next chapter. Fortunately, they already have an idea.
Which Celebrity Couple Will Be Featured in Love Story Season 2?
In an interview with Vanity Fair, Love Story showrunner Connor Hines was asked whether he already has an idea for a potential second season.
He revealed that he is indeed already considering which couple he will tackle in the show's next season: Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.
"They have the right intensity," Hines noted.
In case you're not familiar, Taylor and Burton’s romance was as epic and volatile as the films they starred in. Their love story began on the set of the 1963 epic Cleopatra, sparking a high-profile affair while both were still married to others (Taylor to her fourth husband, Eddie Fisher, and Burton to Sybil Williams).
By March 1964, the pair had cleared their respective legal hurdles and had wed for the first time. Their life together was defined by jet-setting decadence and thunderous public rows. Though they divorced in 1974 after ten years of marriage, they couldn't stay apart, remarrying in October 1975 only to split permanently less than a year later.
So far, FX has not officially renewed Love Story for a second season. Considering that it has become a ratings success and has strong social buzz, it won't be surprising if it gets renewed in the near future.
