About Pose

Pose is a groundbreaking FX drama created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Steven Canals that ran from 2018 to 2021, immersing viewers in the African-American and Latino LGBTQ and gender-nonconforming ballroom culture of 1980s and early-'90s New York. Centered on the 'houses' — found families led by mothers who compete in elaborate balls — it follows Blanca as she leaves to found her own house and raise a family of outcasts.

Featuring the largest cast of transgender actors in series-regular roles in television history, Pose blends dazzling ballroom spectacle with intimate stories of love, illness, ambition, and chosen family during the height of the AIDS crisis. It is by turns euphoric and devastating, and made history both in front of and behind the camera.

Anchored by Mj Rodriguez and Billy Porter, Pose became a landmark of representation and one of the most emotionally generous dramas of its era.
