The 1980\u2019s set ballroom drama Pose<\/em> premieres Sunday on FX. This new show helmed by Ryan Murphy and Steven Canals shows the thriving New York ballroom scene of the era, led by queer and trans<\/a> people of color, and the real life struggles they were facing too.\u00a0Pose<\/em> has already made history by including the largest transgender cast on TV. There is trans<\/a> talent behind the scenes as well, including Janet Mock, Our Lady J, Silas Howard and more. In the premiere, Blanca pursues her dream of becoming a house mother and Damon works toward his own dream.\u00a0Pose: Sunday, 9pm on FX.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The three-part finale of The Fosters<\/em> airs this week, one episode every night Monday through Wednesday. Wrapping five seasons of one of TV\u2019s most inclusive shows, The Fosters<\/em> broke new ground with not only a family helmed by an interracial lesbian<\/a> couple<\/a>, but one with a gay<\/a> son as well, and more and more queer and trans<\/a> characters as the series went on. In the finale, the family travels to Turks & Caicos for Brandon’s\u00a0destination wedding, but as time passes it seems like there may not be a wedding at all. Meanwhile, Lena and Stef make a decision that could change the family forever. There will be a spinoff of The Fosters<\/em> following characters Callie and Mariana making their way in Los Angeles coming to Freeform soon. The Fosters: Monday-Wednesday, 8pm on Freeform.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The long anticipated series finale of Sense8<\/em> will be released Friday. The GLAAD Media Award-winning drama is executive produced by out trans<\/a> filmmakers Lilly and Lana Wachowski and features multiple queer and trans<\/a> characters on a science fiction adventure. After its unfortunate cancellation after two season, fans rallied and Netflix green lit this feature length finale. In the finale, personal lives are pushed aside as the cluster, their sidekicks, and some unexpected allies band together for a rescue mission and BPO take-down in order to protect the future of all Sensates. Sense8: Friday on Netflix.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
