FX set to strike a ‘Pose’

- — Libby Hill

FX is adding a new Ryan Murphy show to its roster, announcing on Wednesday a series order for “Pose,” a dance musical drama about ball culture in 1980s New York.

“Pose” will serve as a snapshot into the changing tides of the city, juxtaposin­g the rise of Trump-era luxury with the downtown social scene.

“Along with being a dance musical and an affirming look at American life in the 1980s, I’m so proud that ‘Pose’ and FX have made history right from the beginning by featuring the most trans series regular actors ever in an American television production,” Murphy said in a statement.

“Additional­ly, the first season ‘Pose’ will feature 50-plus LGBTQ characters — a record in American television history.”

“Pose” is scheduled to begin production in New York in February for a summer 2018 premiere on FX.
