See how the amazing cast of 'American Crime Story' transformed to bring the O.J. Simpson trial back to life

FX is hoping for another hit from "American Horror Story" co-creator Ryan Murphy with his upcoming true-crime anthology series "The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story."

Based on Jeffrey Toobin's book "The Run of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson," the limited series will look at the Simpson trial from the perspective of the lawyers.

It will explore the chaotic behind-the-scenes dealings and maneuvering on both sides of the court and how the LAPD's history with the city's African-American community affected the trial.

The show has a stellar cast playing the actual people, including Cuba Gooding Jr. as Simpson, John Travolta as his attorney Robert Shapiro, and Sarah Paulson as prosecutor Marcia Clark, among others - and the costuming, hair, and makeup certainly do a lot of work.
