For all those currently experiencing "American Horror Story" fatigue (blood, Lady Gaga, weird sex, more blood), Ryan Murphy's newest venture on FX might be more up your alley.

The official trailer for "American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson" was released on Wednesday and it looks like one of TV's most prolific producers has struck gold ... again. 

The trailer presents snippets of the many different perspectives surrounding perhaps the most famous murder trial in American history. We get glimpses of Cuba Gooding Jr. channeling the football star (“I’m not black, I’m O.J.”), David Schwimmer as Simpson's attorney (and Kardashian patriarch) Robert Kardashian, Sarah Paulson playing legal eagle Marcia Clark and John Travolta as Robert Shapiro ("Who the hell signs a suicide note with a happy face?").

Our favorite part? Connie Britton and Selma Blair playing, respectively, "the morally corrupt" Faye Resnick and Kardashian momager Kris Jenner. They're only in the trailer for a couple seconds, but steal the show with their deliciously campy delivery and decadent funerary garb.  

Blair immediately bonded with Jenner, after spending some quality time with the reality TV star to prepare for the role. 

“I found her to be endearing and extremely intelligent and warm and generous," Blair told Us Weekly. "I don’t think I knew just how amazingly likeable she is." 

Maybe the Kardashians will have a family viewing party?

"American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson" will premiere Feb. 2 on FX.
