The groundbreaking FX series
Pose slays and sashays into the sunset as it takes a legendary last strut down the runway, with its third and final season debuting in back-to-back episodes on Sunday, May 2. The pioneering Emmy-winning series centers on a fierce community of Black, brown, and LGBTQ characters populating New Yorkâs underground drag ball culture of the 1980s and â90s. Over the course of the series, these outsiders wrestled with an array of issues and challenges, including homophobia, poverty, bigotry, violence, and the devastation of the AIDS epidemic. Along the way, they found their burgeoning activist spirit.
The showâcreated by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Steven Canalsâalso made television history by featuring the largest cast of transgender actors as series regulars, including Mj Rodriguez, Dominique Jackson, Indya Moore, Hailie Sahar, and Angelica Ross, and the biggest-ever recurring cast of LGBTQ actors for a scripted series. As the colorful, shade-throwing emcee, Pray Tell, Billy Porter won the Emmy for lead actor in a drama series in 2019, becoming the first openly gay man to win in that category, and the show has been nominated for 13 Emmys, including best drama, over the course of two seasons.
