Set in the 1980s, POSE is a dance musical that explores the juxtaposition of several segments of life and society in New York: the ball culture world, the RISE of the luxury Trump-era universe and the downtown social and literary scene.
Evan Peters and Kate Mara play New Jersey couple "Stan Bowes" and "Patty Bowes," who get sucked into the glamour and intrigue of New York City in the 1980s, as epitomized by "Matt Bromley" (James Van Der Beek), Stan's boss. MJ Rodriguez stars as "Blanca Rodriguez," who breaks from the House of Abundance and her former house mother "Elektra Abundance" (Dominique Jackson) to form her own "house," a self-selected family that provides support to LGBTQ youth rejected by their birth families. Indya Moore plays "Angel," a streetwalker who develops feelings for her new client, Stan. Ryan Jamaal Swain plays "Damon Richards," a dancer who joins Blanca's house. Together they compete in the Balls - where house members challenge each other in various categories and are judged on their outfits, attitude, or dance skills. Under the watchful eye of "Pray Tell" (Billy Porter), Grandfather to all the children who compete in the house balls, Elektra's House of Abundance and Blanca's upstart House of Evangelista face off in what may develop into a legendary rivalry.
Pose was co-created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Steven Canals, with Murphy directing the first two episodes. The series is executive produced by Murphy, Falchuk, Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson, Alexis Martin Woodall and Sherry Marsh. Canals and Silas Howard serve as co-executive producers, and Janet Mock, Our Lady J and Erica Kay also serve as producers. The eight-episode first season is produced by FOX 21 Television Studios and FX Productions.
