“Pose,” the groundbreaking LGBTQ series about New York City’s underground ballroom scene, will return for its sophomore season on Sunday, June 9 on FX.

According to showrunner Ryan Murphy, the 10-episode second season will have a time jump from the late 1980s to 1990 around the time Madonna’s “Vogue” was released. The House of Evangelista will have to readjust as the ballroom scene moves from underground to mainstream.

Mj Rodriguez, Dominique Jackson, Indya Moore, Hailie Sahar, and Angelica Ross, Billy Porter, Charlayne Woodard, Ryan Jamaal Swain, Dyllón Burnside and Angel Bismark Curiel will all star.

Janet Mock, Porter and Our Lady J will direct some episodes. Patti Lupone was also recently announced as a guest star but details on her character haven’t been revealed. However, Murphy did tease that Lupone would share scenes with Pray Tell (Porter) and Blanca (Rodriguez).
