Co-creator Steven Canals added: “I, along with my incredible collaborators, never intended on changing the TV landscape. I simply wanted to tell an honest story about family, resilience, and love. How fortunate am I to have done that for three seasons.”
“Words cannot truly express my gratitude and appreciation for those who have given FX and the world the gift that is Pose,” FX chairman John Landgraf also said. “Pose has always been a family drama – one about acceptance and inclusion, pain and joy, struggle and perseverance and, most of all, love. The third and final season is a fitting and beautiful ending to this story.”
Pose actor Angel Bismark Curiel also addressed the end of the series with a video posted to Twitter.

“It’s very bittersweet. I’m excited for new beginnings, right? I think we all should be. But, also, my heart is aching,” Curiel says. “You spend three years with these storylines and these characters and these people, and it’s naturally very hard to go from spending 18 hours days with these folks, from one day to the next, and not having them around as much.”
In 2019, Pose had been renewed for a third season ahead of the premiere of season 2. The cast and crew had just wrapped filming on the season’s premiere episode when the pandemic forced production to be shut down. Canals had previously told The Hollywood Reporter that he envisioned the series lasting for about five seasons, but what’s most important is that they felt they told the story they wanted to tell, as Murphy says that they have with the final season.
