Pose (stylized as POSE) is an American drama television series about New York City's African-American and Latino LGBTQ and gender-nonconforming drag ball culture scene in the 1980s, early 1990s in the second season, and the mid-to-late 1990s in the third season. Featured characters are dancers and models, who compete for trophies and recognition in this underground culture and who support one another in a network of chosen families known as Houses.

Created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Steven Canals, the series aired from June 3, 2018, to June 6, 2021, on FX. It stars an ensemble cast including Evan Peters, Kate Mara, James Van Der Beek, Mj Rodriguez, Dominique Jackson, Billy Porter, Indya Moore, Ryan Jamaal Swain, Charlayne Woodard, Hailie Sahar, Angelica Ross, Angel Bismark Curiel, Dyllón Burnside, Sandra Bernhard, and Jason A. Rodriguez.

The first season was met with largely positive reception and subsequently received numerous award nominations including the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series – Drama and the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Television Series Drama for Billy Porter. In 2019, Porter was awarded the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series – the first openly gay black man to be nominated for and win in an Emmy lead acting category. The series was nominated for Outstanding Drama Series at the same ceremony.

The second season premiered on June 11, 2019, to further acclaim. The third and final season premiered on May 2, 2021, and concluded on June 6, 2021, to further positive reviews. On July 13, 2021, Mj Rodriguez made Emmy history in becoming the first trans lead ever nominated for Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress In A Drama Series.[1][2][3]

During the course of the series, 26 episodes aired over three seasons.

Premise[]

Pose season 1 is set in 1987–88 and looks at "the juxtaposition of several segments of life and society in New York": the African-American and Latino ball culture world, the downtown social and literary scene, and the rise of the yuppie milieu.[4]

The second season begins in 1990. More of the characters are now either HIV-positive or living with AIDS. Some have become AIDS activists with ACT UP, and everyone is now attending frequent fundraisers, funerals and memorial services for their many friends and lovers in the community that have been hard-hit by the AIDS pandemic. With the release of songs by Madonna, Malcolm McLaren, and others, some aspects of the ballroom dance styles begin to go mainstream, and members of the community find new opportunities as dancers and dance teachers. Others are working as dominatrices and strippers.

The final season begins in 1994, with Blanca focused on balancing her life as a nurse aide, a mother and a present partner to Christopher, her new love who works in the same hospital as hers. The season also focuses on the reassembly of House of Evangelista due to Lemar's father role in the unruly new group House of Khan, and Pray Tell's health scare.[5]

Elektra has franchised out her phone sex business with the help of the American Mafia, and has moved into an expensive high-rise apartment. Lil Papi and Angel decide on a small, intimate New Years' wedding date; however, Elektra decides to finance their wedding, turning it into a much larger, grander one, to Lil Papi's initial disapproval. Lil Papi discovers that he has a love child named Beto from a previous relationship. After being clocked and refused purchase by the transphobic owner of an expensive bridalwear shop, Elektra tasks her Mafia associates to mop it clean of dresses to send a message, before inviting all the ballroom girls to Angel's bachelorette party and giving them each a dress. Returning home from the bachelorette party, Lil Papi tells Angel about Beto, and that he wants him to live with them; distraught, Angel leaves.
246"Something Old, Something New"Janet MockJanet MockMay 30, 2021 (2021-05-30)3WBF060.430[33]
Lil Papi begins looking after Beto, and concedes to Ricky that if he has to raise him as a single father, he will. Angel, now living separately, threatens to cancel the wedding, but is convinced to try and work through her feelings by Blanca. Angel visits her estranged father, whom she ran away from, but has been sending money to since their separation; she informs him that she is engaged, and attempts to reconcile with him, but is unable to. Angel realises that she still wants to be with Lil Papi, and returns, agreeing to live as a family with him and Beto. Before Angel and Papi get their marriage license, Angel's anxiety over her license goes through the roof, fearing that with her passport still showing the wrong gender, she will be clocked and refused; however, they secure their marriage license with no problem, and the wedding goes ahead seamlessly. Cubby and Candy also appear in this episode.

Blanca is still working as a nurse's aide, and towards becoming a nurse, at the hospital. Pray Tell checks himself in without telling anyone, having received a diagnosis of pneumonia, and having been told that his immune system is too weak to fight it this time. Pray Tell reflects that Blanca has been positive for seven years and has never faced recurring health problems, where Pray Tell has faced pneumonia, growing blindness in one eye, and lymphoma; the two agree to finish his panel for the AIDS Memorial Quilt together. At the hospital, Blanca sees one of her HIV/AIDS patients improve significantly after getting on a drugs trial, and Christopher and Judy manage to get Blanca and Pray Tell a space on the trial, allowing Pray Tell to recover. Pray Tell and Ricky join a gay men's choir, where the surviving original three members dress in white, and the rest dress in black, symbolising those lost to HIV/AIDS. Later, when the trial announces that they are not letting any more people of colour onto the trial, ACT UP protest, getting the cost of the medications to go down. Pray Tell and Blanca perform "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" at the Winter Fundraiser Ball together. The day after the ball, Ricky discovers him dead in his flat; at dinner with the House of Evangelista, Ricky realises that he had been giving him his trial medication, and not taking it himself.

Pray Tell's mother, Charlene, visits Blanca, thanking her for being a mother to him, and giving her both half of Pray Tell's ashes and some heart-shaped lockets to keep them in, per his last wishes. ACT UP decide to protest by dumping the ashes of loved ones who have died of HIV/AIDS on the lawn of the mayor. At Pray Tell's apartment, Blanca hands out the lockets and reads out what Pray Tell wrote about his extended ballroom family. Ricky performs "The Man I Love" with the gay men's choir, now all dressed in black. Flashing forward to 1998, Blanca celebrates both becoming a nurse and her four-year anniversary with Christopher. Blanca visits Judy on the fourth floor of the hospital - now a ward for mothers and babies - and the two reminisce. Working at St. Vincent's, Blanca gives a patient a diagnosis of HIV, and invites her to the next ball on Saturday. Blanca meets up with Elektra, Lulu and Angel for lunch; all have now become successful, and have careers in the categories - runway model, businesswoman - that they used to walk, with Blanca looking after new house children. At the ball, Blanca is awarded Legendary status by Elektra. Accosted by another ball mother outside, Blanca is asked how it is possible to keep going without winning anything. Blanca responds that the reason to keep going is to support, and lift up the children of a house.

Production[]

Development[]

On March 16, 2017, it was announced that FX had given the production a pilot order. The pilot was written by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Steven Canals all of whom were also set to executive produce alongside Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson, and Sherry Marsh. Production companies involved with the pilot were slated to consist of include FX Productions and Fox21 Television Studios.[35] In October 2018, it was reported that Leiomy Maldonado and Danielle Polanco would be choreographing the series' ball scenes[36] and that Janet Mock and Our Lady J had joined the show's writing and producing staff.[37]

On December 27, 2017, it was announced that FX had given the production a series for a first season consisting of eight episodes.[38] On May 9, 2018, ahead of the series premiere, Murphy announced that he would be donating all of his profits from Pose to non-profit charitable organizations that work with LGBTQ+ people, including the Sylvia Rivera Law Project, the Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund, and the Callen-Lorde Community Health Center.[39][40][41] Murphy explained this decision saying, "The thing that struck me in talking to so many of them, was how much they've struggled, how under attack they feel, how many of them find it difficult getting healthcare, and finding jobs. I just decided I need to do more than just making a show for this community. I want to reach out and help this community."[42] On July 12, 2018, it was announced that the series had been renewed for a second season which premiered on June 11, 2019.[43][44] On June 17, 2019, FX renewed the series for a third season.[45] In March 2021, FX confirmed the third season would be its last. The final season premiered on May 2, 2021.[5]

Casting[]

Stars from the show Pose at Los Angeles Pride Parade

In March 2017, Ryan Murphy and his team began casting for the series. On October 25, 2017, it was announced that transgender actors MJ Rodriguez, Indya Moore, Dominique Jackson, Hailie Sahar, and Angelica Ross and cisgender actors Ryan Jamaal Swain, Billy Porter and Dyllón Burnside had been cast in main roles. The series' production team claimed that they had assembled the largest transgender cast ever for a scripted series.[36][46] The series was expected to include over 50 transgender characters total.[4] On October 26, 2017, it was announced that Evan Peters, Kate Mara, James Van Der Beek, and Tatiana Maslany had also joined the main cast.[47][48]

On December 27, 2017, it was reported that Maslany had exited the series following the redevelopment of her part into that of a 50-year-old African-American woman. The character was then recast with Charlayne Woodard assuming the role.[49] On September 19, 2018, it was announced that Sandra Bernhard would reprise her role of Nurse Judy in season two as a series regular.[10] On March 23, 2019, at PaleyFest, Ryan Murphy revealed that Patti LuPone would guest star in the second season.[50]

Filming[]

Production for the pilot began in New York City in October 2017.[51] The following episodes of the first season were expected to begin production in February 2018.[38] Murphy directed the series' first two episodes[4] and Mock directed the sixth, thus making her the first transgender woman of color to write and direct any episode of television.[52] On March 14, 2020, production on the third season was suspended due to the COVID-19 health crisis.[53] The third and final season's filming wrapped on March 20, 2021.[54]

Release[]

Marketing[]

Promotional poster featuring Blanca Rodriguez-Evangelista (MJ Rodriguez), star of Pose, portraying the drag ball culture of Manhattan in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

On April 12, 2018, FX released the first teaser trailer for the series. It was also announced that the series was set to premiere on June 3, 2018.[55] On May 3, 2018, the first official trailer was released.[56]

Premiere[]

On May 17, 2018, the series held its world premiere at the Hammerstein Ballroom in Manhattan.[57][58] On July 23, 2018, Dyllón Burnside emceed a benefit concert, duetting with co-stars Billy Porter and Ryan Jamaal Swain to celebrate the season one finale, and raise money for GLSEN.[59][60][61] During the event, a conversation was held between Burnside and former Vibe editor-in-chief Emil Wilbekin, where Burnside discussed his coming out story and spoke about the importance of safe spaces for LGBTQ people. Later on in the evening, Porter sang from his latest album and MJ Rodriguez sang "Waving Through a Window" from Dear Evan Hansen.[61]

In March 2019, the series was part of the Paley Center for Media's annual Paleyfest LA at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California.[62]

Pose premiered in the United Kingdom on March 21, 2019, on BBC Two.[63] Season 2 premiered on October 26, 2019, and Season 3 on August 8, 2021. All full series made available on BBC iPlayer straight after each series' premiere.

Influences[]

While a work of creative fiction, the series is "heavily inspired by" Jennie Livingston's 1990 documentary, Paris Is Burning.[64] Livingston also served as a consulting producer on the show. Several of the houses and characters were based on, or named after, real people, and several people featured in the documentary also made cameos in the series, such as Jose Gutierez Xtravaganza, an icon of the voguing scene, who plays a judge throughout the first series, and Sol Pendavis Williams, of the House of Pendavis.[65] Creators and producers of the series, Murphy, Canals, and writer/producer Janet Mock all considered Paris Is Burning "a text that helped inform not only the show, but also their identities when they first saw it."[65]

Pose also expands on one of Paris Is Burning's subtler themes. At various points in the film, Livingston contrasts the drag performers with ordinary, affluent New Yorkers, walking down busy Manhattan sidewalks. It's often hard to tell which of these two groups is more "real", which of them are fashion models or Wall Street power players and which are simply costumed as such. Pose elaborates on those subtle distinctions with a subplot involving Stan (Evan Peters), a rising star in the Trump organization with an obnoxious boss (James Van Der Beek), a pretty wife (Kate Mara), and a secret relationship with Angel (Indya Moore), a trans woman. The show aims to capture some of the diversity of New York in the '80s, while also emphasizing the idea that, whether rich or poor, everyone in the city is pretending, in one way or another.[66]

Season 1[]

On the review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, the first season holds a 96% approval rating with an average rating of 8.3/10 based on 82 reviews. The website's critical consensus reads, "Charged with energy, poise, and confidence, Pose pirouettes between artistic opulence and deliciously soapy drama to create a fresh new addition to Ryan Murphy's lexicon."[67] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the first season a score of 75 out of 100 based on 27 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[68]

In a positive review, Vanity Fair's Richard Lawson was effusive describing the series as "an engaging portrait of dark days met with merriment. Pain and perseverance are sewn together to create something humble yet fabulous—and, it should be shouted over all the show's loud and glorious clamor, very much long overdue."[73] In a similarly favorable critique, Vulture's Matt Zoller Seitz praised the series' ambition, aesthetic, and spotlight on minorities saying, "it shows American audiences a world that has never been visualized on television at this length and at such an obviously grand budget level. The camera swings and swoops, glides and tumbles as in a Scorsese epic like Gangs of New York; in both the outdoor street scenes and indoor crowd scenes, it's obvious that FX has spared no expense to get the clothes, the cars, the streets, the business signs, and even the distinctive yellow-brown glow of streetlights correct."[74] In a more mixed assessment, Newsday's gave the series two-and-a-half stars out of four and described it far less approvingly saying, "good intentions don't always lead to good TV, and a couple episodes in, that appears to be the case with Pose. This certainly isn't bad TV—Murphy isn't about to leave his longtime home with a turkey—but it's often bland TV, and oddly enough, stock TV."[75] In a negative evaluation, Slate's Willa Paskin was outright dismissive saying, "It's a TV show from one of the most canny creators working today, yet as a viewing experience it can feel like an object lesson." She continued on specifically criticizing the show's character development saying, "So many of the people on Pose are strong women, trans paragons, and this comes at the expense of them being recognizably flawed human beings."[76]

Season 2[]

On Rotten Tomatoes, the second season holds a 98% approval rating with an average rating of 8.39/10 based on 40 reviews. The website's critical consensus reads, "A delightful, delicate dance of light and dark, Pose's second season achieves a striking balance between the grittiness of reality and the glamour of the runway and shines even brighter."[69] On Metacritic, season 2 holds a score of 79 out of 100 based on 14 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews."[70]

Season 3[]

On Rotten Tomatoes, the third season holds an 100% approval rating with an average rating of 7.70/10 based on 25 reviews. The website's critical consensus reads, "Though it's entirely too short, Pose's final season is a joyously entertaining celebration of life that is not to be missed."[71] On Metacritic, season 3 holds a score of 76 out of 100 based on 8 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews."[72]
