Created by Oscar nominee Ron Nyswaner (Philadelphia, Homeland), primarily based on the novel by Thomas Mallon, FELLOW TRAVELERS is an epic love story and political thriller, chronicling the risky romance of two very totally different males who meet in McCarthy-era Washington. Matt Bomer performs good-looking, charismatic Hawkins Fuller, who maintains a financially rewarding, behind-the scenes profession in politics. Hawkins avoids emotional entanglements – till he meets Tim Laughlin (Jonathan Bailey), a younger man brimming with idealism and spiritual religion. They start a romance simply as Joseph McCarthy and Roy Cohn declare warfare on “subversives and sexual deviants,” initiating one of many darkest intervals in Twentieth-century American historical past.
