There’s nothing Queerguru likes more than to be able to describe a new queer movie/TV show as steamy. And this one is VERY. Fellow Travelers is a political thriller starring two of our favorite out gay actors Brit Jonathan Bailey (Lord Anthony Bridgerton) and Matt Bomer (Boys In The Band)
It’s based on the Thomas Mallon novel of the same name, “Fellow Travelers” which follows the romance between Hawkins Fuller (Bomer) and Tim Laughlin (Bailey), two men who meet in McCarthy-era Washington. They begin a romance just as Joseph McCarthy and Roy Cohn declare war on ‘subversives and sexual deviants,’ initiating one of the darkest periods in 20th-century American history.” Their very volatile romance spans “the Vietnam War protests of the 1960s, the drug-fueled disco hedonism of the 1970s and the AIDS crisis of the 1980s while facing obstacles in the world and in themselves.
Created by out-gay Oscar-nominated Ron Nyswaner (Philadephia) and directed by out-gay Daniel Minahan (The L Word), it also stars Brit actor Linus Roache (Priest), Will Brill (The Marvelous Mrs Maisel) Noah J Ricketts (Summoning Sylvia) and Jane Moffat (Mama)
