Fellow Travelers is an upcoming political period romance series that follows romantic leads Bailey as Tim Laughlin and Matt Bomer as Hawkins Fuller, according to Variety.
The outlet reports the two men strike up an epic romance as "subversives and sexual deviants" are being targeted by Joseph McCarthy and Roy Cohn and continue to run into each other over four decades through historical events like the Vietnam War protests in the 1960s and the AIDS crisis in the 1980s.
Fellow Travelers is set to film in Toronto until December 9, 2022, according to ACTRA Toronto, so Bailey fans will want to keep an eye out.
