What is Pam & Tommy on Hulu about?

By Sandy C.

Pam & Tommy -- Set in the Wild West early days of the Internet, “Pam & Tommy” is based on the incredible true story of the Pamela Anderson (Lily James) and Tommy Lee (Sebastian Stan) sex tape. Stolen from the couple’s home by a disgruntled contractor (Seth Rogen), the video went from underground bootleg-VHS curiosity to full-blown global sensation when it hit the Web in 1997. A love story, crime caper and cautionary tale rolled into one, the eight-part original limited series explores the intersection of privacy, technology and celebrity, tracing the origins of our current Reality TV Era to a stolen tape seen by millions but meant to have an audience of just two.

Pam & Tommy shakes things up on Hulu on Feb. 2. The series follows the rocky romance between Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee after the unauthorized release of a sex tape. Who stars in the series and what exactly will it be about? Here’s everything to know.

Though I’m not saying the Hulu streaming platform has not already had some great hit series, I believe Pam & Tommy is about to shake things up like never before. From the hard-hitting topics to its explicit content, the biographical drama is going to rock the internet beginning on Feb. 2. Are you ready?

Is Hulu’s Pam & Tommy based on a true story?

For anyone wondering, yes, Pam & Tommy is based on a true story. It is a biographical drama miniseries based on public reports, testimonies, and other documentation. For those too young to remember, Pamela Anderson is a model and actress who was married to Tommy Lee, an American musician and member of the heavy metal band Mötley Crüe. Pam & Tommy will follow their story, focusing on the release of their unauthorized sex tape in 1995, a private tape that was recorded during their honeymoon and locked up in a safe, never intended for another set of eyes.

Unfortunately, Tommy (Sebastian Stan) angered the wrong person, handyman Rand (Seth Rogen), who returned to Pam (Lily James) and Tommy’s home one night and stole a safe from the home’s garage. Rand believed he would find money, jewelry, and guns. But he never imagined a tape would be in the safe, too!

The series also stars Nick Offerman, Taylor Schilling, Pepi Sonuga, Andrew Dice Clay, Mike Seely, and others.

Pam & Tommy episodes

The miniseries will include a total of eight episodes. The first three episodes drop on Hulu on Feb. 2. Then, one episode will be released each Wednesday until the finale on March 9. Because this is a miniseries, there is no second season planned.
