Fellow Travelers, Series Finale
Created by Oscar nominee Ron Nyswaner (Philadelphia, Homeland), based on the novel by Thomas Mallon, Fellow Travelers is an epic love story and political thriller, chronicling the volatile romance of two very different men who meet in McCarthy-era Washington. Matt Bomer plays handsome, charismatic Hawkins Fuller, who maintains a financially rewarding, behind-the scenes career in politics. Hawkins avoids emotional entanglements – until he meets Tim Laughlin (Jonathan 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 (Jelani Alladin), Lucy (Allison Williams), and Frankie (Noah J. 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.

Maestro
Leonard Bernstein is considered one of the most important conductors of his time and was the first American conductor to receive international acclaim. However, from what we can tell from the trailer and reviews of the film, Maestro will focus less on the music and more on the “lifelong relationship between Leonard Bernstein and Felicia Montealegre Cohn Bernstein.”
Much to our delight, Matt Bomer will play one of Bernstein’s lovers. Unsurprisingly, we are eager to see him share the screen with Bradley Cooper.
