With Pose kicking off its second season next month, FX released a pair of character teasers, focusing on Angel (Indya Moore) and Elektra (Dominique Jackson). You can check out both teasers in the players below!
Pose 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. The first season earned rave reviews from critics who praised the combination of style, energy, exhilarating drama and performances from its cast and garnered solid ratings for a cable series, averaging about 600,000 viewers per episode.
After an extensive nationwide search helmed by award-winning casting director Alexa Fogel (Atlanta), co-creator Ryan Murphy (American Crime Story, American Horror Story) and his collaborators made television history by assembling the largest cast of transgender actors in series regular roles, as well as the largest recurring cast of LGBTQ actors ever for a scripted series. The transgender cast includes MJ Rodriguez as Blanca Rodriguez, Hailie Sahar and Angelica Ross. Also co-starring are Tony Award winner Billy Porter as Pray Tell, Charlayne Woodard as well as newcomers Ryan Jamaal Swain as Damon Richards and Dyllon Burnside.
