The new ‘Pam and Tommy’ trailer shows Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee enjoying their romance until their sex tape sees the light of day, sending the couple to a spiral. They ultimately go down a dark path, but we catch a glimpse of the electrician who got his hands on the video, and the porn producer he tried to partner with to profit off the content.
Executive producer Robert Siegel spoke about the upcoming eight-part Hulu limited series, saying “I hope the whole world watches it, I’m incredibly proud of it. It’s fun, and it also makes you think, which my favourite art always does. If some people just take it on a level of this is a really crazy fun, nostalgic ’90s crime story, great. If it sparks debate about issues of privacy and celebrity and e-commerce or anything else it sparks, great. I just mostly want people to really enjoy it.”

DV DeVincentis, another executive producer, also chipped in “I want people to have a really, really good time. And when they turn it off, I hope that it makes them look around at the way we deal with celebrity and the way we deal with privacy and the way we deal with what we expect of celebrities in a different way.”

Anderson and Lee, in real life, had a sex tape that was stolen by a disgruntled contractor. They tried to stop it from being circulated to the extent of striking a deal with the adult movie company.
