FX has released a first look at the star-studded anthology series run by Ryan Murphy.

John Travolta is making his debut as Robert Shapiro.

One of the four teasers released today for FX's upcoming anthology series, American Crime Story: The People v. OJ Simpson, reveals Travolta in character as the famous lawyer who successfully defended OJ Simpson in his 1995 murder trial.

“Any time that I take on a new criminal case, I always ask the client as question. Now I won’t be judgmental so...” says Travolta to Cuba Gooding Jr., who stars as Simpson, in the fifteen-second clip.

The series, which is slated to premiere in February 2016, features a star-studded cast that includes Selma Blair, Connie Britton, Sarah Paulson and David Schwimmer. Created by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski, Ryan Murphy serves as the showrunner on the project.
