Ryan Murphy is expanding his empire with the groundbreaking drama series Pose that will air on FX. Evan Peters (American Horror Story), Kate Mara (House of Cards), James Van Der Beek (Dawson’s Creek), and Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black) have joined the cast of the show.
Peters and Mara will play New Jersey couple Stan and Patty, who get sucked into the glamour and intrigue of New York City in the 1980s. Van Der Beek plays Peters’ financial kingpin boss Matt. Maslany plays a modern dance teacher who takes a special interest in the talent of Damon (Ryan Jamaal Swain). They round out a cast that includes Tony winner Billy Porter and the largest number of transgender actors in television history to have series regular roles.
Pose is co-created by Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Steven Canals. It examines several aspects of New York City life in the 1980s, including the ballroom scene, and the art and financial boom of the later part of the decade. Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson, Alexis Martin Woodall and Sherry Marsh serve as additional executive producers of the show.
The show begins production this November in New York City and expected to premiere next year on FX.
