Who knew that Ryan Murphy’s Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette would ricochet through the culture like this? All the girls are now wearing little black shades and flipping their hair about maniacally with a pen in their mouth, while their boyfriends are in backwards Kangol flat-caps and riding bicycles. (Do we think JFK Jr. would have ridden a Citi Bike? Probably!) Sadly, however, this much-discussed TV show has come to its (inevitably tragic) end.
Even so, a second season—focused this time on another famous couple (Love Story was set up to be an anthology series, like American Horror Story and American Crime Story before it)—is looking very likely. In fact, series creator Connor Hines has already hinted that Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton could be his next subjects (“They have the right intensity”).
But popular culture is rife with iconic couples. Here, some more hopes and suggestions for Love Story’s sophomore season.

Charles and Diana would give the show’s writers plenty to get into—much of it not worlds apart from what Carolyn Bessette and John F. Kennedy Jr. went through. (Princess Diana died just as tragically, and both she and Carolyn married into world-famous families that made them press magnets.) The Crown may have already pipped them to the post, but one thing’s for certain: the cultural interest in Princess Di, and by extension King Charles and Queen Camilla, is eternal.
