FX’s latest installment in Ryan Murphy’s American Story franchise, American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez, is set to hit TV screens. The 10-episode limited series will follow the real-life rise and fall of disgraced former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez.

The show, starring Josh Andrés Rivera as Hernandez, is based on The Boston Globe And Wonderful podcast Gladiator: Aaron Hernandez and Football Inc.The podcast delved into Hernandez’s life and career, along with his arrest, eventual conviction for murder, and his death by suicide in a maximum-security prison in Massachusetts.

In June 2013, authorities discovered the body of semi-professional football player Odin Lloyd, who was dating the sister of Hernandez’s fiancée, Shayanna Jenkins, about a mile from the then-football player’s home. Just nine days later, Hernandez was arrested on murder charges in connection with Lloyd’s death at his North Attleborough, Mass., mansion and taken from his home in handcuffs.

Hernandez was released by the Patriots within hours. He pleaded not guilty to the charges, but was eventually convicted of first-degree murder in 2015.

In May 2014, nearly a year after Hernandez was arrested on suspicion of Lloyd’s murder, he was indicted on two counts of first-degree murder, along with other related charges, in connection with the 2012 fatal shootings involving Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado.

According to the Associated Press, the pair were shot to death in their car at a red light in Boston’s South End. The AP reported that prosecutors said Hernandez, who went on trial in February 2017, was angry because Abreu accidentally bumped into him at a nightclub while he was dancing and spilled his drink. However, Hernandez’s lawyers said he was innocent. Hernandez was acquitted of murdering Abreu and Furtado on April 14, 2017.

Just days after he was acquitted in that case, on April 19, 2017, Hernandez was found hanging from a bedsheet in his cell at the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center, a maximum-security prison in Leominster, Massachusetts. He was later pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. Boston Globe reported that Hernandez and another inmate smoked K2 in the former football player’s cell. The newspaper described the drug as “similar to marijuana but more toxic: plants sprayed with chemicals that can cause hallucinations and are difficult to detect in drug tests.”

Hernandez, a former University of Florida football player, was drafted by the New England Patriots in 2010. The former tight end was reportedly someone to be warned about in the locker room. According to reports from The Boston GlobeFormer NFL player Wes Welker warned former Patriots receiver Brandon Lloyd about Hernandez’s behavior.

“He looks at me with wide eyes,” Lloyd recalled to the Gladiator podcast. “And he says, ‘I just want to warn you that (Hernandez) is going to talk about his mother washing him. He’s going to hold his genitals in front of you while you’re sitting on your stool. He’s going to talk about homosexuality. Just do your best to ignore it. Walk away, even.'”
