The synopsis says: "It’s now 1994 and ballroom feels like a distant memory for Blanca, who struggles to balance being a mother with being a present partner to her new love and her latest role as a nurse’s aide.

"Meanwhile, as AIDS becomes the leading cause of death for Americans ages 25 to 44, Pray Tell contends with unexpected health burdens.

"Elsewhere, the emergence of a vicious new upstart house forces the House of Evangelista members to contend with their legacy."

Mj Rodriguez, who plays Blanca in the series, said the series would continue to act as an advocate for the LGBTQAI community. 

She said: "It means that we will carry on the torch, and we will constantly keep taking up space.

Season three was given the green light in June 2019, but in March 2020 filming was suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic.
