When FX announced that Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, the masterminds behind "American Horror Story" and "Scream Queens," would help bring an "AHS" spin-off called "American Crime Story: The People v. O. J. Simpson" to life, it was hard not to be excited, but also slightly terrified. "AHS" is a series that has reveled in all things murder since its inception, and at times, the show has gone way too far in terms of taking artistic liberties with real-life events that devastated the lives of actual human beings. (Tate's "Murder House" high school massacre, which borrowed very heavily from the Columbine shooting, quickly comes to mind.)

However, when MTV News caught up with "American Crime Story" producer Nina Jacobson at the Berlin premiere of "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2" last week, she assured us that the show would not glamorize the deaths of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Lyle Goldman.

"I think people will be surprised, there’s enormous restraint in ‘American Crime Story,'" Jacobson said. "For us, the O.J. story is so much more about race in America, the relationship between white police and a black community, the birth of a 24-hour news cycle, and of reality TV. The violence is very sobering, but it is very, very restrained, because the story is much more about the trial and the circumstances and the cultural response, two years after the L.A. riots, and how the city and the country and the world responded to these events. It’s a very, very different show than 'American Horror Story,' and very respectful of the people involved."

Jacobson also disclosed that, while the Kardashian girls and Kris Jenner (Selma Blair) will appear on the series, it's their late patriarch Robert (David Schwimmer) who will be its star.

"Robert Kardashian was O.J.’s best friend," Jacobson explained. "His story is a very emotional story of standing by your best friend for better or worse. The family is part of it, but really it’s much more about Robert, and the family in connection to him. He’s one of the legal team, and the lawyers and Cuba [Gooding Jr.] are really the stars of the show."
