Ryan Murphy has announced casting for his latest FX Networks show “Pose.” Set in the 1980s, “Pose” looks at the juxtaposition of several segments of life and society in New York: the rise of the luxury Trump-era universe, the downtown social and literary scene and the ball culture world. Murphy co-created the show with Brad Falchuk and Steven Canals.
After a six-month nationwide search, Murphy and his collaborators are making television history by assembling the largest cast of transgender actors in series regular roles ever for a scripted series. They are MJ Rodriguez, Dominique Jackson, Hailie Sahar, Indya Moore and Angelica Ross will be series regulars.
Actors Ryan Jamaal Swain, Dyllon Burnside and Billy Porter will appear in recurring roles.
