What’s Releasing on Hulu this week? “Pam & Tommy” Release Date and Time
Hulu’s new biographical drama Pam & Tommy premieres tomorrow, and it chronicles the complete narrative of the repercussions from the famous couple’s sex video controversy. It has a star-studded cast and a nostalgic 1990s setting.
Let’s find out some new releases on Hulu this week.
- Pam & Tommy
Pam & Tommy is an American biographical drama miniseries about actress Pamela Anderson and Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee, played by Lily James and Sebastian Stan, respectively, at the time when their illicit sex video was made public. Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen created the series for Hulu, which is produced by Point Grey Pictures and Annapurna Television.
“Pam & Tommy,” based on the astonishing real storey of the Pamela Anderson (Lily James) and Tommy Lee (Sebastian Stan) sex video, is set in the Wild West during the early days of the Internet. When a disgruntled contractor (Seth Rogen) stole the tape from the couple’s house, it went from underground bootleg-VHS curiosity to full-blown global phenomenon when it reached the Web in 1997. The eight-part original limited series, which combines a love story, a criminal caper, and a cautionary tale, investigates the junction of privacy, technology, and celebrity, tracing the beginnings of our contemporary Reality TV Era to a stolen recording watched by millions but intended for only two people.
The miniseries’ production was revealed in 2018, and James Franco was cast to helm and play Lee. Hulu ordered a series in December 2020, with James and Stan cast as Anderson and Lee, respectively, with the latter replacing Franco after his exit from the project. Casting announcements were made throughout the year of 2021, and filming took occur in April in Los Angeles.
Premise: Pam & Tommy is a film about Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee’s marriage and the subsequent release of their infamous unauthorized sex tape, which was secretly made during their honeymoon.
