Today In Rock: February 2nd, 2022 – Pam & Tommy’s Sex Tape Miniseries
On this day… “Pam & Tommy,” a limited series about Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee and “Baywatch” star Pamela Anderson’s infamous leaked sex tape, debuted on Hulu. Seth Rogen also appeared as the man who stole the tape.
The mini-series depicted the couple’s turbulent 3-year marriage with particular emphasis on the theft and illegal distribution of a sex tape the couple recorded privately during their honeymoon.
The series development was announced in ’18, with James Franco attached to direct the miniseries and play Lee. But two years later, Hulu, announced that Sebastian Stan would replace Franco following the latter’s departure from the project.
Filming took place in L.A. between April and July, ’21.
The first three episodes of Pam & Tommy premiered on Hulu on this day with subsequent episodes debuting weekly. It received ten Primetime Emmy Award nominations, including Outstanding Limited Or Anthology Series and acting nominations for Lily James (as Anderson), Stan, and Rogen.
