Showtime’s Fellow Travelers: Q&A with Matt Bomer and Jonathan Bailey

Praised by the critics for its gripping plotlines and “insightful, often devastating historical drama” (TIME), Showtime’s Fellow Travelers is the decades-long chronicle of the risky, volatile and steamy relationship between the charismatic and ambitious Hawk and the pious and idealistic Tim, two political staffers who fall in love at the height of the 1950s war on communists, “subversives” and “sexual deviants.”

Through the Vietnam War protests of the ’60s, the drug-fueled disco culture of the ’70s and the AIDS crisis of the ’80s, the two men’s affair only intensifies despite the constant threat of being exposed and losing everything.

Join Emmy nominees and stars Matt Bomer and Jonathan Bailey in conversation with Extra’s Tommy DiDario as they share clips from the series and discuss the making of the show. From LGBTQ history to love and relationships to the devastation Lavender Scare of the 1950s, they’ll share behind-the-scenes insights and personal reflections about this powerful, acclaimed series.

Recorded August 15, 2024 at The 92nd Street Y, New York.
