‘Fellow Travelers’ Series Creator Ron Nyswaner is “Not Ready To Retire” As There’s More Queer American History To Unveil


Ron Nyswaner talks about his more than decade-long journey to complete the making of Showtime's limited series 'Fellow Travelers.'

Based on the Thomas Mallon novel, Fellow Travelers is a sweeping, tragic love story and political thriller chronicling the clandestine romance of two very different men who meet in the shadow of McCarthy-era Washington. Matt Bomer plays Hawkins Fuller, a man with a successful career in politics who generally avoids emotional entanglements — until he meets the idealistic Tim Laughlin ( Jonathan Bailey). So, I get really moved by the fact that the family that we created in Toronto, working together for a year or so, has expanded to all these people that, on social media, who are writing to me all these beautiful, personal notes about their own lives and their own struggles, and what Fellow Travelers means to them.
