As we get closer and closer to the series finale of Pose<\/em><\/a>, it\u2019s only natural to start wondering what\u2019s next for the talented and glamorous<\/a>\u00a0cast<\/a> of FX\u2019s groundbreaking drama. Well, we now know where we\u2019ll be seeing more of Mj Rodriguez in the future: AppleTV+<\/a>. The 30-year-old actor was recently cast in the streamer\u2019s upcoming comedy series starring none other than Maya Rudolph!<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what we know so far: the series, tentatively titled Loot<\/em>, follows the misadventures of Molly (Rudolph), a woman whose seemingly perfect life is upended when her husband leaves her with nothing but $87 billion. You read that right. Billion. With a B. Sounds devastating<\/em>. According to Variety<\/em><\/a>, Rodriguez will play Sofia, the executive director of Molly\u2019s non-profit.<\/p>\n

AppleTV+ gave the show the green light<\/a> back in March with a straight-to-series order. The high-profile role is well-deserved for Rodriguez who has talked openly about the opportunities that Pose<\/em> has opened up for her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the legacy of Pose <\/em>simply is exuberant lives finally getting their chance and stapling it in the industry and stapling it in the realm of acting and making sure that there\u2019s more space open,\u201d she said at the show\u2019s third season premiere<\/a> a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n

She also opened up<\/a> to Deadline<\/em>\u2019s \u201cNew Hollywood\u201d podcast about the lack of trans visibility on TV when she was growing up: \u201cI never really saw a woman like me on the television screen,\u201d she said. \u201cI saw plenty of women on the television screen, but if they were a part of the trans community, I didn\u2019t know\u2026So, I didn\u2019t really see a woman that was really vocal about her transness.\u201d<\/p>\n

Actors like Rodriguez, Patti Harrison and Laverne Cox<\/a> are proof that that\u2019s beginning to change. We can\u2019t wait to see what Rodriguez gets to do in this new role. Opposite the always musically inclined Rudolph, maybe she\u2019ll get to show off some more of her own musical chops<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29097,"featured_media":22493,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[23,38,16],"yoast_head":"\nMj Rodriguez To Star Opposite Maya Rudolph In New Comedy<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Pose star Mj Rodriguez will star opposite Maya Rudolph in an upcoming AppleTV+ comedy.
