There’s a lot more toFellow Travelersthan just sex, though it certainly doesn’t hurt.
“Oscar Wilde said, ‘Everything in life is about sex except for sex.
Sex is about power.’
That was one rule,” Nyswaner separately tells EW.
“The other rule is that we try not to do the same sexual act more than once.
When we were writing episode 8, my co-writers and I said, ‘Whathaven’twe done?'”
Robbie Rogers, the former-soccer-star-turned television producer, makes note of the authenticity of depicting same-sex sex.
“A lot of that was actors [having] ideas about their characters.
We were really open to those discussions.”
But also… you know, there’s foot stuff.
Fellow Travelersairs Fridays on Paramount+ and Sundays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Showtime.
