sponsored by FXNetworks | FX’s groundbreaking series, Pose wraps its final season by leaning into joy and celebrating life.

From the strength and hope that consistently spring from Mj Rodriguez’s Blanca to the heartbreaking sacrifice of Billy Porter’s Pray Tell, the final season of FX’s “Pose” reaffirms its reputation as a groundbreaking series for LGBTQ representation.

In addition to reminding viewers of the impact of the AIDS crisis, Canals says “Pose” also rewrote the narrative around gay characters in television and film. Executive producer Janet Mock says “Pose” was never intended to be a story only about the trauma faced by the trans community. Billy Porter, who won an Emmy® as outstanding lead actor in a drama series for “Pose” in 2019, says the parallels between AIDS and the COVID-19 pandemic make the series as relevant as ever.

“I spent the first 25-plus years of my career trying to fit into a masculinity construct that society placed on us so I could eat,” Porter says. “‘Pose,’ and Pray Tell in particular, really taught me to dream the impossible.”
