Multiple outlets confirm that Canals has inked an overall deal with the Disney backed studio. Under the deal, Canals will create and develop new projects for the TV studio. 

“Steven is the embodiment of the original voice we’re always looking for at this studio and like so many others I was captivated by his groundbreaking and award-winning series Pose,” said Carolyn Cassidy, President of Creative Affairs, 20th Century Fox TV. Howard [Kurtzman] and I couldn’t be happier that he chose 20th to develop his new projects and feel extremely lucky to be in business with this gifted and talented writer whose storytelling is as specific as it is universally relatable.”

“For this Bronx bred storyteller, I’m thrilled by this new chapter,” said Canals. “Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined having supportive co-conspirators like Dana Walden, Craig Hunegs, Carolyn Cassidy, Howard Kurtzman, and their teams. I’m grateful to be partnering with 20th to continue creating original content that centers diverse voices and moves the industry’s needle toward more inclusion and equity.”

Ryan Murphy and Steven Canals’ dance musical is set in the world of 1987 and “looks at the juxtaposition of several segments of life and society in New York: the rise of the luxury universe, the downtown social and literary scene and the ball culture world.”

The announcement of a renewal comes just a week after the series’ sophomore season debuted. The second season was announced after six freshman season episodes aired.

“Pose has elevated our culture and the TV landscape like few shows before it, and we are honored to partner with co-creators Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Steven Canals on a third season,” FX chairman John Landgraf said Monday in a statement.

“Our thanks to the entire creative team, including Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson, Alexis Martin Woodall, Sherry Marsh, Janet Mock, Our Lady J, Erica Kay, the amazing cast and crew and everyone at Fox 21 Television Studios and FX Productions for this incredibly entertaining, enlightening and groundbreaking series.”

Pose’s second season premiere was its most-watched episode to date, drawing 1.2 million viewers in total according to The Hollywood Reporter. Its current season is definitely well received, scoring an impressive 96 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

The series stars Billy Porter and Mj Rodriguez as well as Dominique Jackson, Indya Moore, Hailie Sahar, Angelica Ross, Charlayne Woodard, Ryan Jamaal Swain, Dyllon Burnside, Angel Bismark Curiel and Sandra Bernhard.

The news that the Broadway legend will join Season 2 was announced by co-creator Ryan Murphy Saturday at PaleyFest. Murphy also revealed two additional key details: Season 2 will see the show jump forward to 1990, specifically the day Madonna’s “Vogue” was released and that series lead MJ Rodriguez will share many scenes with LuPone.

“We’ve come up with this great role for Patti LuPone. She loves the show and we wrote this part and she said, ‘Yes, I want to do it,’ so she’s coming to play with us in a couple weeks,” Murphy said.

Season 2 is set to tackle the same issues as did Season 1, including transgender relationships, drag culture and the HIV/AIDS crisis of the late ’80s.

Producer, writer and director Janet Mock told The Hollywood Reporter that the new season will include “a lot of the same ingredients and the DNA of it all. Family, glamour, shadiness, bitchiness — but then a lot of heart, too.”

Co-creator Steven Canals added, “We’re going to be leaning into what was happening sociopolitically in New York,” he said, “and so we’re going to be addressing Act Up and access to medical care for individuals who are living with HIV.”

Pose is slated to return this year.
