Pam and Tommy
The series was first announced in 2018.  Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg were working on the project under their production company Point Grey Pictures. James Franco was to direct the miniseries and play Tommy Lee. By December 2020, Franco had left the series. It was announced that Hulu had approved the project. They wanted them to make eight-episodes. Craig Gillespie was to direct with Robert D. Siegel writing and Rogen and Goldberg executive producing the miniseries. Tatiana S. Riegel, who has often worked with Gillespie, was to edit the miniseries. Pamela Anderson reportedly did not want to be in the series at all. Lee was also not a part ofthe series but he supported it. The series is based on a 2014 Rolling Stone article about the story of how Anderson and Lee's sex tape was stolen and released. Siegel found it hard to believe the events had not been made into a movie or series already. Siegel and D.V. DeVincentis said that most of the "basic plot beats" came from that article and "the basic mechanics" of the events "was pretty much what happened". The conversations between the characters was written to be more dramatic.
