The series, which follows the murder trial of O.J. Simpson, who was accused of killing ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson, already has a star-studded cast, including John Travolta, Sarah Paulson, Cuba Gooding, Jr., David Schwimmer, and Courtney B. Vance.

Britton will play Fay Resnick, a close friend of Nicole Brown Simpson. The show will premiere on FX in 2016. *Sets DVR*
