Ryan Murphy, Steven Canals, our unparalleled cast and their collaborators have created a masterpiece and have left an indelible legacy that will open doors, new doors, for the trans community. Pose is proof that Ryan, Dana and our commitment to giving under-represented writers, directors, producers, actors and artisans more opportunities was not meant to signal our virtue – but because our world is literally full of untapped geniuses looking for nothing more. than a chance to prove your extraordinary talent, beauty and value in the story market. Pose has always been a family drama – a drama about acceptance and inclusion, pain and joy, struggle and perseverance and, above all, love. The third and final season is a fitting and beautiful ending to this story. ”Dana Walden, chairman of Walt Disney Television’s entertainment board:“ Pose represents a great source of pride for all of us at Disney Television Studios. We are extremely grateful to Ryan, Steven, Brad, Janet, Nina and Brad for presenting an artistically excellent, socially relevant, extremely fun and innovative series. This show demonstrates the power of our industry to illuminate the under-represented and to point to our common humanity – and to do so with brilliance, pleasure and pure fabulousness! Special thanks to Ryan for introducing us to voices like Steven Canals and Janet Mock, and then for opening the way for them to do their best work. Thanks also to John Landgraf and the talented team at FX, who have been the best possible partners. And although we are sad to say goodbye to the program at the end of this season, the audience is about to have a beautiful and exciting final trip. ”Steven Canals, executive producer, writer, director and co-creator:“ ‘Write the TV show you want to watch!’ That was what I was told in 2014, while completing my master’s degree in script. At the time, we didn’t see many Black and Latinx characters – who happened to be also LGBTQ + – filling the screens. And then I wrote the first draft of a pilot that the ‘younger me’ deserved. Pose was conceived as a love letter to the underground New York ballroom community, to my beloved New York, to my queer and trans family, to myself. “I, along with my incredible collaborators, never intended to change the TV landscape. I simply wanted to tell an honest story about family, resilience and love. I am fortunate to have done this for three seasons. I am filled with gratitude to our intrepid writers, cast, crew and producers who worked tirelessly to make Pose come alive, humiliated by our loyal audience, grateful to the ballroom community who trusted us to tell their story, overwhelmed by the critics who embraced it warmly and was forever indebted to Ryan Murphy, FX and 20th Television for changing my life. ”Janet Mock, writer, director and executive producer:“ My life changed forever because of Pose, a drama series that revolved around trans and queer people, people living with HIV / AIDS and black and Latino people – no trepidation or excuses. This left an indelible mark on our culture, showing that a TV show can be successful and fun while authentically casting, hiring LGBTQ talent in front of and behind the camera and moving people living on the banks to the center of the stage. “Although I am heartbroken to say goodbye to our beloved characters, I know that the work that my fellow writers and producers, our team and pioneering cast did in Pose will live forever as a shining, heart-filled and shining lighthouse. love, acceptance, family and community. I am grateful to FX for being our home, to 20th Television for its support, to Ryan Murphy for his bold vision, to our audience for his love and loyalty, and to the ballroom community for trusting us. ”Ryan Murphy, writer, director, co-creator, executive producer:“ Pose has been one of the creative highlights of my entire career. From the beginning, when Steven Canals and I sat down to hear his vision and ideas for the show, it has been a passionate project. Going from the beginning of my career in the late 90s, when it was almost impossible to bring an LGBTQ character on television to Pose – who will go down in history for having the greatest LGBTQ cast of all time – is a truly complete moment for me. “This show made history behind and in front of the camera, and its legacy is profound. I am very proud of my fellow creators Steven Canals and Brad Falchuk, and also of the producer / writer / executive director Janet Mock, who left an indelible mark with his personal and sincere work. I also thank Our Lady J for her incredible work as a producer, writer and actress on the program. John Landgraf and Dana Walden supported Pose from the start. We had to tell the exact story we wanted, how we wanted to tell it, and I am incredibly honored and grateful. Pose’s story may end in 1996, but its impact will last forever. ” Brad Falchuk, writer, director, co-creator, executive producer: “I am more proud of this series than anything else I have created – or will ever create. I am very grateful to have been part of this. ”Read the original story ‘Pose’ to end season 3 on FX At TheWrap
