The first season of Pose is set in 1987–88 and looks at the differences in ballroom culture and the rise of the yuppies.

The second chapter begins in 1990, with more of the characters either HIV-positive or living with AIDS.

Some have become Aids activists and everyone is now attending frequent fundraisers, funerals and memorial services for their many friends and lovers in the community.

Elsewhere, some aspects of the ballroom dance styles begin to go mainstream, and members of the community find new opportunities as dancers and dance teachers.

The last season of Pose will be set in 1994, and ballroom feels like a distant memory for Blanca (Mj Rodriguez) who struggles to balance being a mother with being a partner to her new love, and her latest role as a nurse’s aide. 

Meanwhile, Pray Tell contends with unexpected health burdens as Aids becomes the leading cause of death for Americans ages 25 to 44; while in the balls, the emergence of a vicious new house forces the House of Evangelista members to contend with their legacy.
