Here's Cuba Gooding Jr. as O.J. Simpson in First 'American Crime Story' Teaser

FX released the first teaser for Ryan Murphy's upcoming "American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson," which tells the story of the infamous trial that spanned 1994 and 1995. The teaser is extremely brief (just 15 seconds) and doesn't show any footage. But you can hear some of the A-list cast speaking as their characters: Gooding as Simpson, John Travolta as defense attorney Robert Shapiro, Sarah Paulson as Marcia Clark, and Courtney B. Vance as Johnnie Cochran.
"American Crime Story" will be much like Murphy's other, fictional series, "American Horror Story" — it is an anthology which will tell a different true crime tale every season. Certainly, Simpson's trial is an attention-grabbing way to start, and Murphy has gathered an astonishing number of stars on the cast, including Connie Britton, David Schwimmer, Selma Blair, Nathan Lane, and Malcolm Jamal-Warner. We're dying to see some actual footage (and the wigs!).

"American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson" premieres on FX sometime in early 2016.
