It’s left an indelible mark on my heart ❤️.”
He also dedicated an entire post to Mock, writing, “On this, the last day of production on @poseonfx I want to give a shout out to my partner in crime, my ride-or-die through this entire experience, @janetmock. I was an admirer before we met, but the moment we clapped eyes on each other and had our first cackle I fell in love.”
Mock, an integral director, producer and writer for Pose, made history when she became the first trans woman of color to write and direct an episode of television.
In her own emotional Instagram post, Mock also shared her thoughts.
“Last night at 3:40am ET, we called a series wrap on POSE. There are no words to describe the abundance this show has brought to my life,” she wrote. “I will be forever changed by the people who poured their everything into our visions, by the world we built together, by the characters we loved on, and by the family we assembled and nurtured.”
Canals even shared a picture of a wrap gift he received from the art department.
He tweeted: “Last night at 3:30am we wrapped the @PoseOnFX series finale. As a wrap gift, the art department gave me one of the broken windows (it’s not real glass) from Blanca’s apartment. Excuse me while I weep.”
Dyllón Burnside, who plays Ricky Wintour on the hit show, penned a heartfelt post as well.
“I just arrived for the final day of production on @poseonfx,” he shared on Instagram. “I just arrived for the final day of production on @poseonfx. I don’t have the words to articulate all of my feelings right now… what I will say, though, is that I have learned SO MUCH about love, life, family, art, community, myself, this industry.”
Feeling particularly nostalgic, Burnside shared pictures of the young cast during Pose’s first season, writing that he feels “blessed beyond measure” to be a part of the series.
Show stars Angel Bismark Curiel, MJ Rodriguez, Dominique Jackson and more celebrated the finale too.
