FX’s ‘Pose’ to premiere final season in May 2021

Steven Canals, co-creator and executive producer of Pose, announced on Friday, March 5, that the show will air its third and final season on May 2. 

In an online statement, he said: “It was a very difficult decision for us to make, but this has been an incredible journey and we’ve told the story we wanted to tell, the way that we wanted to tell it.” 

“Although we know that you’ll be sad to see the show go, this season will be filled with all of the laughter, love, and tears you’ve come to expect from the Evangelista family,” he continued.

Pose, a trailblazer for queer representation in television, features the largest ensemble of transgender and non-binary actors for a scripted series including MJ Rodriguez, Dominique Jackson, Indya Moore, Hailie Sahar, American Horror Story’s Angelica Ross, Legendary’s Leiomy Maldonado, and RuPaul’s Drag Race’s Jiggly Caliente.

The show received a total of 5 Emmy Nominations and won the 2019 & 2020 GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Drama Series. It follows trans and queer people of color and people living with HIV/AIDS as they face the challenges of life and navigate the underground ballroom scene. – with reports from Aloe Ynion/Rappler.com
