What is Fosse/Verdon about?

Based on the biography Fosse by Sam Wasson, and written by Steven Levenson, this eight-part drama tells the story of the complex romantic and creative relationship between husband-and-wife duo Bob Fosse and Gwen Verdon.

Bob Fosse was a filmmaker, as well as one of theatre's most respected and influential choreographers and directors. With credits including Chicago and Cabaret, he is still the only person ever to win an Oscar, an Emmy and a Tony in the same year (1973).

In 1960, Fosse married his third wife. Gwen Verdon was an acclaimed and well-known actress and dancer who won four Tony Awards during her career, but she also served as an uncredited choreographer's assistant.

The TV drama Fosse/Verdon reveals their story through back-and-forth flashes of the couple's relationship through the years they were together, as well as showcasing their deep and enduring impact on the entertainment industry.

The series was also nominated for a whopping 17 Emmys, including Best Limited series, and nods for Rockwell, Williams, and for Margaret Qualley for her performance as Ann Reinking.
