Executive producer and co-creator Steven Canals also posted a video goodbye, expressing gratitude to viewers and noting that while the decision to end the show was very difficult, “We have told the story we wanted to tell the way we wanted to tell it.”
“Pose game me a massive opportunity & changed my life,” tweeted actor Johnny Sibilly. “It changed many lives & conversations.”
The series, which debuted in 2018, will begin its third and final seven-episode season on May 2 at 10pm ET/PT. The series finale is set for June 6. Since the series debut, Pose, set in the New York underground ball culture of the 1980s and early ’90s, has won a Peabody Award, AFI honors and an Emmy for star Billy Porter, who became the first openly gay man to win the Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series.
Deadline will post additional reactions as they arrive…
November 2017. My first day on the set of POSE. Didn’t know then that my life would be forever enriched.
I am so grateful for the 25 episodes we made together, as a family.
The final 7 episodes, marking the beginning of the end of POSE, starts Sunday May 2 on FX. 😢💔🏆 pic.twitter.com/Y74ikNCkVi
