According to Deadline, FX has given an eight-episode series order to Pose, a “dance musical” from Ryan Murphy, Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson, and Brad Falchuk. The show will star Evan Peters and Kate Mara as a New Jersey couple who get swept up in the “glamour and intrigue” of 1980s New York City, with James Van Der Beek playing a “financial kingpin.” Those three big names aside, the show will also make history by having five transgender regular cast members, a record for any American show ever, along with what Deadline says is “the largest LGBTQ cast ever” for any scripted TV series. Tatiana Maslany reportedly played a role in the original pilot, but the part was re-written for Charlayne Woodard from The Leftovers.
