About Fellow Travelers:
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.
Nyswaner and Bomer executive produce with Robbie Rogers (All American, My Policeman). Daniel Minahan (Halston, American Crime Story: Versace) executive produces and directs the first two episodes. Co-produced by Fremantle with SHOWTIME, FELLOW TRAVELERS was produced in Toronto.

Fellow Travelers is a classic. Particularly the early episodes focused on the Lavender scare during the 50’s. It was shocking to see how one could sell-out or turn their back on their lovers and friends to safeguard their own livelihood. I was truly moved by Skippy’s final admission to Hawk that he was the love of his life, and even though it was a painful experience, he was grateful to have fallen in love with someone in his lifetime. This series is honest, heartbreaking and hard hitting. Truly a must see event.

This is an epic love story! Amazing work on everyones part! Matt and Jonathan were superb. The heartbreak and shattering you're left with at the end is perfection!

[@noelgenoway9360]

I love the ending, but I would love to see a HAPPY ENDING to a gay love story! There have been a few but mostly gay love stories end in sadness!

[@justjaein]

@@noelgenoway9360I agree, those are nice to see. They’re being made more often recently since the stories of the LGBT community are becoming less and less tragic, thankfully. But this story was a dramatic one from the start esp starting in the 50s, it would’ve been a disservice to end it happily.

Superb limited series, expanding and enriching the scope of a very fine novel by Thomas Mallon. Terrific work in all departments, and a great cast!

[@breatheinmyworld8230]

I wish Jonathan was there too.

[@noelgenoway9360]

Agree!

[@arianapuzzo7827]

Great panel for a tremendously inspiring series! Deserves every nod it gets (and more).

[@Evelyn-k7o]

No entiendo porque hicieron una serie que desde el primer episodio se sabía que sería un éxito,sólo duró 8 episodios.Esa serie no tuvo nada malo para criticar,todo estuvo a la altura,actores,productores,maquillistas y ni hablar de la química de los protagonistas,espectaculares,mis respetos 👏👏👏👏👏

[@ShelbyBaby27]

Love that Jess Cagle highlighted Allison, Jelani, and Noah's performances and took the piss out of "They're tired of answering sex scene questions" 😂😂😂

[@georgebeto2897]

La actuación de Jonathan está a otro nivel que manera de transmitir es una hermosa historia

[@TheTemantti]

OMG! Allison´s favourite dacace for Lucy 🤣 I love her sense of humor. Allison if you ever come to Finland... I´ll buy you a drink and let´s just have a gils´night out! 😍

[@brenda-jh3oh]

Brilliant they used some of the real quilt

[@BlesseddivaT]

Great series 👏🏽💛🔥🌟✨️

[@Ju-up4or]

Astonished by the love story, there’s just one thing or two puzzled me. Hawk is more or less an NPDer, isn’t he? So I get it when Tim said he’s too angry to forgive anyone. But I don’t feel such anger from any storyline in the show. On the contrary, Tim’s endless affection for Hawk seems unbelievable and unrealistic.
