FX has ordered a third season of Pose after the second season debut delivered 1.2 million total viewers, making it the show’s most-watched episode.

John Landgraf, chairman of FX Networks and FX Productions, commented, “Pose has elevated our culture and the TV landscape like few shows before it, and we are honored to partner with co-creators Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Steven Canals on a third season. Our thanks to the entire creative team, including Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson, Alexis Martin Woodall, Sherry Marsh, Janet Mock, Our Lady J, Erica Kay, the amazing cast and crew and everyone at Fox 21 Television Studios and FX Productions for this incredibly entertaining, enlightening and groundbreaking series.”

Pose returned for its second season last week with a 9-percent viewership boost from season one in adults 18 to 49 and a 17-percent gain in total viewers. Season one was named an AFI TV Program of the Year, and it won a Peabody Award and a Television Academy Honors Award. It focuses on New York’s underground ball culture, with season two set in the 1990s.
