Fellow Travelers stars Matt Bomer and Jonathan Bailey waded into the sex-scenes debate at Deadline Contenders TV event Saturday. The actors got intimate on the set as characters Hawk and Tim in the Showtime limited series based on Thomas Mallon’s book that follows their love affair in the 1950s.
“I just feel like the characters were never the same after the scenes as they were before, which to me is always a sign that it’s integral to the story,” said Bomer, who plays Hawk. “The way they connected was so reflective of their societal conditions. It was therapeutic. It’s not always the most comfortable thing, but it was always an extension of their relationship.”
Bailey, who plays Tim, said the characters could not be open about their sexuality in the ‘50s. So their love scenes became the only place they truly could be themselves.

“Ted Lasso,” “Yellowjackets,” “RuPaul’s Drag Race” and Renee Rapp were just a few of the winners from the 35th annual GLAAD Media Awards, held Thursday night at the Beverly Hilton.
It’s the first of two dual ceremonies — the second happens May 11 in New York City — but we’ll go out on a limb and say it’s the best one because it’s first, and in Los Angeles (just kidding). And prior to the awards actually being handed out, the stars were out in force with some absolutely iconic looks for the Red Carpet.
Among them were Sydney Sweeney, Wayne Brady, Chlöe, Jason Sudeikis, Niecy Nash, and that’s barely a sample. Read on and see some of the best outfits and fiercest attitudes from the GLAAD Media Awards 2024.

Ron Nyswaner will soon be traveling to New York to reunite with his Writers Guild of America East fellows for a grand occasion. The Oscar-nominated screenwriter, producer and showrunner has been selected to receive the Walter Bernstein Award at the 76th Writers Guild Awards at New York’s Edison Ballroom on April 14.
The honor — named after the late screenwriter who was blacklisted for his political views only to persevere and get his career back on track with such credits as Fail-Safe, Semi-Tough and Yanks — is presented to writers “who have demonstrated with creativity, grace and bravery a willingness to confront social injustice in the face of adversity,” per the organization.
Nyswaner has been doing that for pretty much his entire career. A prime example is Jonathan Demme’s 1993 film Philadelphia. Penned by Nyswaner, the Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington-starrer was the first major Hollywood film to dramatize the real-world...

Exclusive: Martin Bobb-Semple has been upped to series regular for Season 3 of All American: Homecoming.
In the Nkechi Okoro Carroll-created series, Bobb-Semple portrays Orlando “Lando” Johnson, a college baseball player who is initially introduced as an antagonist from a rival school toward the end of Season 1. He transfers to Bringston University in the second season and quickly becomes involved in a love triangle of sorts with Simone [Geffri Maya] and Damon [Peyton Alex Smith]. Season 2 ended on a cliffhanger, as Simone supposedly professes her love to either Damon or Lando…but viewers don’t see who it is.
All American: Homecoming is a young adult sports drama set against the backdrop of the Hbcu experience at Bringston University, where Black excellence is a way of life. No Season 3 premiere date has been announced as of yet.

The cast of Fellow Travelers holds hands in a sign of unity ahead of the 2024 Critics Choice Awards on Sunday (January 14) in Santa Monica, Calif.
Costars Matt Bomer, Jonathan Bailey, Allison Williams, Jelani Alladdin and Noah J. Ricketts posed for photos together outside Barker Hangar ahead of the ceremony, and they each looked fantastic!
Matt opted for a royal blue suit while Jonathan and Noah went with monochromatic black. Jelani wore a printed suit without a shirt and took the biggest risk by foregoing a shirt underneath his buttoned blazer.
Allison wowed in a white jumpsuit with crystal embellishments.
They were joined by producer Robbie Rogers on the red carpet, and Matt posed for some pics with his Maestro costar Bradley Cooper, too! We’ve got all the photos in the gallery.
Shortly into the night, the cast had something big to celebrate, too.

Ron Nyswaner, the executive producer and writer of the Showtime limited series Fellow Travelers, says that he feared there were three strikes against getting it made: “It’s period, it’s political and it’s gay.”
At a recent Washington, D.C. screening, though, he summed up some of the initial reaction to the completed project: “They love that it is period, that it is political and that it is gay.”
The eight-part Fellow Travelers, based on the book by Thomas Mallon, centers on the romance between the extroverted State Department official and cynical war hero “Hawk” Fuller, played by Matt Bomer, and idealistic aspiring Senate aide Tim Laughlin, played by Jonathan Bailey, a relationship that started during the McCarthy era of the 1950s and extends to the AIDS crisis of the 1980s.

It’s curtains for “Gotham Knights” at The CW. The network will not move forward with a second season of the DC series, Variety has learned.

Jonathan Bailey and Matt Bomer are about to become entangled in an epic romance amid a devastating political background.
Limited series “Fellow Travelers” begins in 1952 with the night Dwight D. Eisenhower is elected President. Matt Bomer stars as handsome, charismatic Hawkins Fuller, who maintains a financially rewarding, behind-the scenes career in politics during McCarthy-era Washington. Hawkins avoids emotional entanglements – until he meets Tim Laughlin (Jonathan Bailey), a young man brimming with idealism and religious faith.

Bill Kinder, the subject of the Matthew McConaughey film “Dallas Sting” that was axed after an investigation uncovered allegations of misconduct, has denied the accusations, saying they were fabricated.
The Texan coach Kinder, 83, on Friday spoke with The Daily Mail and said that an anonymous letter was sent to the film’s studio, Skydance, accusing him of 40 years ago having “touched someone outside their clothes and referring to the female athletes he coached by inappropriate nicknames.” Kinder, in his interview with The Daily Mail, denied any misconduct and further said he was shocked at the news from earlier this week that the film will not move forward.
Kinder said he was contacted by investigators hired by Skydance after the letter was received and that he and the other subjects of the film, now all adult women, had informed him there was “nothing there” in terms of the investigations. He added...

Skydance has pulled the plug on a Matthew McConaughey film called “Dallas Sting” after an investigation into the film’s true story uncovered disturbing allegations, an individual with knowledge of the project told TheWrap.
The film from director Kari Skogland (Marvel’s “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier”) was meant to kick off production in six weeks and had nearly completed casting.
“Dallas Sting” is the true story of a high school girls soccer team that in 1984 went to China and managed to beat some of the best women’s teams in the world from China, Australia, Japan and finally Italy in a championship game. McConaughey would have played the team’s coach, Bill Kinder.

Harry Styles is arguably one of the most famous people in the world right now. Aside from dropping one of the best-selling albums of the year, the former One Direction member is getting himself back on the silver screen in a big way. Not only is he starring in Olivia Wilde's "Don't Worry, Darling" (which has certainly generated its fair share of conversation in recent weeks), but he is also front-and-center in "My Policeman."
Prime Video's adaptation of the book of the same name by Bethan Roberts is headed to theaters next month. And now, we've got a new trailer for the film, which sees Styles at the center of a forbidden love triangle in the '50s. One expects this will get people talking as well. Let's take a look, shall we?

Harry Styles plays a closeted policeman in the new trailer for romantic drama “My Policeman.”
Released by Amazon Studios on Wednesday, the teaser finds Styles and co-stars David Dawson and Emma Corrin entangled in a complicated love triangle. The story — an adaptation of Bethan Roberts’ 2012 novel — follows Styles’ character Tom Burgess, a closeted policemen. Since it is illegal to be gay in 1957 Brighton, Burgess begins dating a schoolteacher named Marion (Corrin), but also has a secret love affair with a museum curator named Patrick Hazelwood (Dawson).
The film jumps between two time periods: the 1950s and the 1990s. In the ’50s, Burgess navigates his love triangle, but then, 40 years later, Tom and Marion’s fraught relationship becomes even thornier as Patrick returns to their lives after suffering a stroke.
Gina McKee, Linus Roache and Rupert Everett round out the cast for the scenes that take place in the ’90s.

The film jumps between two time periods: the 1950s and the 1990s. In the ’50s, Burgess navigates his love triangle, but then, 40 years later, Tom and Marion’s fraught relationship becomes even thornier as Patrick returns to their lives after suffering a stroke.
Gina McKee, Linus Roache and Rupert Everett round out the cast for the scenes that take place in the ’90s.

Jelani Alladin (The Walking Dead: World Beyond), Noah J. Ricketts (American Gods) and Linus Roache (Batman Begins) have been cast opposite Matt Bomer, Jonathan Bailey and Allison Williams in Showtime’s limited series Fellow Travelers.
Fellow Travelers is a love story and political thriller, chronicling the volatile romance of two very different men who meet in the shadow of McCarthy-era Washington. Fuller (Bomer), who maintains a financially rewarding, behind-the-scenes career in politics, 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, Hawk and Tim 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,...
