Jonathan Bailey and Matt Bomer tease ‘extraordinary’ queer sex scenes in gay epic Fellow Travellers.
Fellow Travellers is a new gay drama epic starring Matt Bomer and Jonathan Bailey – and if the first snaps from Showtime’s minseries are anything to go by, things are going to get steamy.
Matt Bomer and Jonathan Bailey both command an undeniable hold over the queer community. Bomer has been a mainstay in the Ryan Murphy-verse of TV smashes for a while, solidifying his status as veritable sex icon in stripper flick Magic Mike, and British darling Jonathan Bailey’s role as Bridgerton‘s biggest heartthrob has perhaps only just been topped by his turn as Fiyero in the upcoming Wicked adaptation.
Basically, they’re both very talented (and very sexy) actors, stealing focus in any project they appear in. Put the two together in an even sexier romance epic spanning decades and it may just be the final straw.
Based on a novel of the same name by Thomas Mallon, that’s exactly what Showtime’s Fellow Travellers is doing. Bomer and Bailey are set to star as lovers, Hawkins Fuller and Tim Laughlin respectively, in a romance that spans decades, set against everything from McCarthyism and the Vietnam War to the AIDS crisis.
