Matt BomerandJonathan Bailey are steaming things up onFellow Travelers.
Showtime droppeda new trailerfor its limited series featuring the pair starting a dangerous love affair at the height of the1950s Lavender Scare— a period in American history when LGBTQ+ Americans were prohibited from serving in the Federal Government.
The two appear to get hot and heavy during various moments and share deep discussions about their evolving relationship in several scenes together. Other clips show Bomer courting Allison Williams’ character Lucy, dancing with her and giving her gifts.
“You’re such a d— good liar,” Jelani Alladin’s character Marcus tells Bomer’s character in the trailer.
There are also multiple scenes showing several fights outside what appears to be a bar between characters as the words, “Love is dangerous,” flashes on the screen. Bomer’s character can also be seen trying to keep his secrets as others close in on it. In one shot, he closes the blinds to his building as others try to spy on him and in another looks ominously down a corridor.
“We lie about who we sleep with,” Bomer can be seen telling Bailey who replies, “It’s not who we sleep with, it’s who we love.”

The pair, along with Alladin’s Marcus, Williams’ Lucy and Noah J. Ricketts’ Frankie, is filmed over the course of four decades as “they cross paths through the Vietnam War protests of the 1960s, the drug-fueled disco hedonism of the 1970s and the AIDS crisis of the 1980s while facing obstacles in the world and within themselves,” according to a synopsis for the limited series.
