SHOWTIME(R) ANNOUNCES PREMIERE DATE FOR HIGHLY ANTICIPATED LIMITED SERIES "FELLOW TRAVELERS"
Eight-Episode Drama Starring Matt Bomer and Jonathan Bailey To Premiere October 27
on Paramount+ With SHOWTIME
Series Will Also Premiere on Paramount+ on October 27 in Canada and on October 28 in the UK, Australia, Latin America, South Korea, Italy, Germany Switzerland and Austria
August 17, 2023 - SHOWTIME has announced that its upcoming limited series, FELLOW TRAVELERS, will make its streaming debut on the Paramount+ with SHOWTIME plan beginning Friday, October 27 before its linear debut on Sunday, October 29 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME. The series will also premiere on Paramount+ on October 27 in Canada and on October 28 in all the UK, Australia, Latin America, South Korea, Italy, Germany Switzerland and Austria.
FELLOW TRAVELERS is created for television by Oscar(R) nominee Ron Nyswaner (Philadelphia, HOMELAND) and stars Matt Bomer (The Normal Heart, The Boys in the Band), Jonathan Bailey (Bridgerton), Jelani Alladin (The Walking Dead World Beyond), Allison Williams (Get Out, Girls) and Noah J. Ricketts (American Gods). Bomer and Nyswaner executive produce with Robbie Rogers (All American, My Policeman) and Dee Johnson. Daniel Minahan (Halston, American Crime Story: Versace) executive produces and also directs the first two episodes. FELLOW TRAVELERS is co-produced by Fremantle and SHOWTIME.
Created by Nyswaner and based on the novel by Thomas Mallon, FELLOW TRAVELERS is an epic love story and political thriller, chronicling the clandestine romance of two very different men who meet in McCarthy-era Washington. Bomer plays charismatic Hawkins Fuller, who maintains a financially rewarding, behind-the scenes career in politics. Hawkins avoids emotional entanglements - until he meets Tim Laughlin (Bailey), a young man brimming with idealism and religious faith. 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. Over the course of four decades, we follow our five main characters - Hawk, Tim, Marcus (Alladin), Lucy (Williams), and Frankie (Ricketts) - as they cross paths through 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.
