Dominique Jackson also bid farewell to the series and her character Elektra Wintour with a TikTok video, which was also shared on Instagram.

Actor Angel Bismark Curiel also shared a moving post on Instagram that included a tribute to his character Esteban "Lil Papi" Martinez-Evangelista. "For me, Papi was a mountain — a high summit for a mortal like me to climb. I could not have played him without the support of my family for life," Curiel, 25, wrote.

"I have learned SO MUCH about love, life, family, art, community, myself, this industry," Dyllón Burnside, who plays Ricky Wintour, wrote on Instagram. "So many things... from this group of people.

Since its premiere in 2018, Pose has received critical acclaim for its focus on New York City's African-American and Latino LGBTQ and gender-nonconforming drag ball culture scene in the 1980s and early 1990s. It also made history for having the largest-ever cast of transgender actors on a mainstream network.

Billy Porter, who has starred in both of the first two seasons as Pray Tell, became the first openly gay Black actor to win an Emmy for best lead actor in a drama series in 2019.

In May, Canals announced that the show would end with season 3. "It was a very difficult decision for us to make, but this has been an incredible journey and we've told the story we wanted to tell the way that we wanted to tell it," he said. "I, along with my incredible collaborators, never intended on changing the television landscape, I simply wanted to tell an honest story about family, resilience, and love."

The third and final season of Pose premieres May 2 on FX.
