Pose
Pose, the revolutionary drama that concentrated on New York’s underground ball culture in the 1980s and 1990s, will come to an end with its series finale in June. In an Instagram video, co-creator Steven Canals confirmed the news, saying: “It was a very difficult decision for us to make, but this has been an incredible journey, and we have told the story we wanted to tell — the way we wanted to tell it.” Billy Porter, who plays ballroom emcee Pray Tell, won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for the first time in 2019. According to Deadline, the show also featured the largest cast of transgender actors in regular roles.
Shrill
Shrill, a Hulu comedy based on Lindy West’s memoir, follows a journalist who “wants to change her life, but not her body.” The show has received mostly positive reviews and an average Rotten Tomatoes rating of 87 percent, but it will end this year with its third season. While the executive producers told Variety that it was not their decision to end the show, Aidy Bryant, who plays protagonist Annie Easton, appears to believe the three seasons serve as a good “beginning, middle, and end” to the story.
