Aaron Hernandez’s story is about to play out on screen.
The new trailer for FX’s American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez has been revealed. The 10-episode docuseries, which premieres Sept. 17, will follow the former NFL player through his career, his shocking murder conviction of Odin Lloyd, and 2017 death.
In the teaser released Aug. 14, Hunger Games: Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes actor Josh Andrés Rivera portrays Aaron through a supercut of clips, balancing his growing public persona as a tight end for the New England Patriots and his life behind closed doors, where he struggled with dark thoughts and behavior.
“You don’t know what kind of thoughts I have,” Josh narrates as Aaron in the trailer. “It’s like a demon. What if God made me this way?”
Aaron, who played for the Patriots from 2010 to 2012, was arrested during the offseason of the NFL in 2013, and later found guilty of the murder of Odin in 2015 (He was immediately released by the Patriots following his 2013 arrest). Odin and Aaron had met through their partners, as Aaron’s then-fiancée Shayanna Jenkins-Hernandez and Odin’s girlfriend Shaneah Jenkins were sisters, and the men were friends leading up to the murder.
