So this is much less about the actual crime itself, as the story takes place after their murders (the court trial that followed), and there will be no flashbacks.
Cuba Gooding Jr. plays O.J., while Sarah Paulson is prosecutor Marcia Clark, Courtney B. Vance plays the late Johnny Cochran, David Schwimmer is Robert Kardashian, John Travolta plays Robert Shapiro, and Billy Magnussen as Kato Kaelin.
Sterling K. Brown plays Christopher Darden; Malcolm-Jamal Warner is A.C. Cowlings; Selma Blair is Kris Kardashian; and Connie Britton is Faye Resnick.
The real O.J. Simpson is not involved in the series in any way, nor will he benefit financially from it.
FX has now released a first full trailer for the upcoming series (after several teasers) which is embedded immediately above, followed by all the previous teasers, and character photos.
