What’s in store for Pose? Recently, Star Indya Moore and co-creator Steven Canals recently spoke with Variety about the changes coming to season three of the FX TV show.
The drama series revolves around several segments of society in New York City — ball subculture, Trump-era excess, and the downtown social and literary scenes. The second season kicks off in 1990. The cast includes Moore, Mj Rodriguez, Dominique Jackson, Hailie Sahar, Angelica Ross, Billy Porter, Ryan Jamaal Swain, Angel Bismark Curiel, Dyllón Burnside, Sandra Bernhard, and Charlayne Woodard.
In the interview, Moore revealed the cast of Pose is going through challenging times and are uncomfortable with returning to set too soon:
The ‘Pose’ family is hanging in there, trying to take care of ourselves — some of us trying to find different ways to stay busy, some of us, like myself, trying to find different ways not to be. [They are] feeling a little bit paranoid about returning to set too soon and frightened about what we will return to.”
Co-creator Steven Canals says season three of the FX series will have to accommodate to deal with the pandemic and that means less intimacy:
Things like kissing — we will likely forgo those moments. The place on our show where the biggest impact will be felt will be the ball scenes: Those scenes have 125 to 150 background actors. That’s tricky, because that’s such an important and critical part of our show and the narrative. We’re just, only now, having conversations of ‘Is there a world where we forgo these things?’”
And what can fans expect from season three? Canals says:
The politics of ‘Pose’ have always been upfront and center, so in terms of the narrative of Season 3 and the way we’re moving forward, I think it will inherently address what’s happening currently with COVID-19. All of that was already baked into the DNA of the show.”
What do you think? Do you watch Pose? Are you looking forward to season three of this FX series?
Cant wait for the 3rd series
I thoroughly and intensely LOVE this series. As a gay black man in his early 60’s, I lived through all of the decades the show portrays. Although I wasn’t part of Ball culture, I can certainly empathize with the characters and their struggles to be accepted in not only the mainstream world of the times portrayed, but the regular LGBTQ community. The struggle still continues today in the world of marriage equality, the pandemic, and the divisiveness we’ve witnessed take a firmer grip of the country. The trans community is still fighting for recognition and acceptance, and even though there… Read more »

Can’t wait for series 3
I love this show. Billy Porter is awesome. Ready for more episodes. Loved the Vogue Madonna days. Ryan Murphy is the best
I watch it. To understand what my son has to go through
I hope and pray that season 3 gets pushed back into 2021 bc I cant see pose season 3 being great as 1&2 or even good. I feel that recording in this Covid -19 and the results of filming is to destroy the amazing journey of s1&2. The intimacy the EXTREME closes down personal encounters the many different ways of expressing all the emotions, if that’s all minimized or eradicated leaves a huge hole in connecting to viewers. Season 1&2 was so raw an overload of sharing pains that help you see through the dark , and the truth of… Read more »
