Evan Peters, Kate Mara join Ryan Murphy's 'Pose'

Actors Evan Peters, Kate Mara, James Van Der Beek and Tatiana Maslany have joined the cast of Ryan Murphy's FX drama "Pose".
According to the Entertainment Weekly, the project looks at the juxtaposition of several segments of life and society in 1980s New York City: the rise of the luxury Trump-era universe, the downtown social and literary scene and the ball culture world.
Peters and Mara will play a New Jersey couple named Stan and Patty who get sucked into the glamour and intrigue of '80s New York. Van Der Beek will portray Stan's financial kingpin boss, and Maslany is set as a modern dance teacher who takes a special interest in the talent of Damon (previously announced cast member Ryan Jamaal Swain).

The pilot has already created history by roping in five transgender actors in series-regular roles a scripted TV record.
If picked up to series, "Pose" would mark Murphy's fourth at FX, joining anthologies "American Crime Story", "American Horror Story" and "Feud". He also has the upcoming Fox drama "911", which is set to premiere midseason.
