76th EMMYS® NOMINEES IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Fellow Travelers
Synopsis: Fellow Travelers is an epic love story and political thriller based on the novel by Thomas Mallon, and created for television by Oscar® nominee Ron Nyswaner. The eight-episode limited series centers on Hawkins (“Hawk”) Fuller (Matt Bomer), who maintains a financially rewarding, behind-the-scenes career in politics. Hawkins avoids emotional entanglements – that is, until he meets Tim Laughlin (Jonathan Bailey), a young man brimming with idealism and religious faith. Over the course of four decades, we follow Hawk and Tim – as well as journalist Marcus (Jelani Alladin), senator’s daughter Lucy (Allison Williams), and nightclub performer Frankie (Noah J. Ricketts) – as they cross paths through Joseph McCarthy and Roy Cohn’s declaration of war on “subversives and sexual deviants,” the Vietnam War protests of the 1960s, the drug-fueled disco hedonism of the 1970s, and the AIDS crisis of the 1980s – all while facing obstacles in the world and within themselves.
Please note: All episodes of Fellow Travelers are available to stream on Paramount+ with the Paramount+ with SHOWTIME® plan only. But from now through Aug. 31, and in honor of the show's Emmy® Awards nominations, Episode 1 of Fellow Travelers will be available to stream free through the Paramount+ Free Content Hub.
