Fellow Travelers to Debut on Paramount+

Paramount+ has slated the premiere of Fellow Travelers, based on the Thomas Mallon novel of the same name, for October 28.

Created for television by Ron Nyswaner (Philadelphia, Homeland), the series chronicles the romance of two very different men who meet in McCarthy-era Washington. It follows the characters over the course of four decades as they encounter the Vietnam War protests of the ’60s, the disco hedonism of the ’70s and the AIDS crisis of the ’80s.

The cast includes 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 the series with Robbie Rogers (All American, My Policeman), Dee Johnson and Daniel Minahan (Halston, American Crime Story: Versace). The show is co-produced by Fremantle and SHOWTIME.
