P
ose to Make 'One-Year Time Leap' in Season 2, Then Build to 'Vogue' ReleaseThe category is: time jumps?
Season 2 of FX?s acclaimed drama Pose will kick off a full year after the events of Season 1, co-creator Ryan Murphy revealed during the Television Critics Association summer press tour on Friday.
?We?re gonna do a one-year time leap,? Murphy said, adding that the sophomore season will begin in 1989 and ?end in March of ?90, when Madonna?s ?Vogue? was released.?
That song becoming a worldwide hit was a pivotal moment for the LGBT and ball community, Murphy says: It ?took something that was unknown in the culture and made it mainstream. And [Season 2] will be about the reaction of our characters to that moment, where their community? is suddenly put on display.? Murphy doesn?t plan on asking the real Madonna to make a cameo as herself, though: ?We haven?t tried to do too much of my typical stunt casting, and I don?t think we will? that?s not what the show is about.?
While the Pose writers? room hasn?t convened for Season 2 yet, co-creator Steven Canals says the time jump is already giving him ideas: ?Around that period is when we saw [playwright and activist] Larry Kramer emerge, and ACT UP. Personally, I would love for us to delve deeper into AIDS activism.?
Season 2 will also ?very much involve Blanca and Pray Tell?s HIV experience,? Murphy adds. ?We want to be truthful about it, because it was a very dark, troubling time.?Pose ? which chronicles the ball culture world of 1980s New York City, with gay and transgender ?houses? facing off in underground competitions ? debuted in June with an eight-episode freshman season. FX handed it a Season 2 renewal last month.
