Ryan Murphy, the TV mogul behind American Horror Story, American Crime Story, Glee and Scream Queens continues his reign with a brand new show, Pose, which boasts the largest cast of transgender actors in TV history.
The show, set in New York City in the 1980s, will be written by trans author and activist Janet Mock.
The cast came together after a six-month long nationwide search, and they each carry hefty resumes. Here’s where you’ve seen them before.
