Lily James is absolutely unrecognisable as Pamela Anderson
A whirlwind romance of epic proportions, Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee's relationship pretty much encapsulated the chaotic yet glam vibe of the mid-90s.
Naturally, we're thrilled that Hulu are releasing a miniseries about the couple, called Pam & Tommy, following their infamous legal battle over a honeymoon sex tape.
A word of warning: Lily James and Sebastian Stan's transformation into Pamela and Tommy is really something to behold.
What is Hulu's Pam and Tommy about?
Okay, you guessed it, it's about Baywatch star Pamela Anderson and Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee's relationship and all the drama said relationship entailed. The official synopsis describes it as, 'a comedic limited series on the true story behind the release of the first ever viral video in history — the sex tape of Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee.'
The eight-episode series follows Pamela and Tommy's relationship from when they married less than a week after they first met in 1995, to the fallout after a sex tape from their honeymoon was stolen and distributed online. The distributor, Internet Entertainment Group, was sued by Pamela and Tommy resulting in a settlement where the tape was made public again.
Who will star in Hulu's Pam & Tommy?
This is where it gets really good. Lily James (Cinderella, Downton Abbey), plays Pamela Anderson and Sebastian Stan (Gossip Girl, Once Upon A Time and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier) takes on the role of Tommy Lee. And the transformation is literally unreal.
Hulu's official Instagram account shared two photos of Lily and Sebastian in their Pamela and Tommy get-ups. The first shows Lily looking like a mirror image of Pamela: from the dramatic cat-eye eyeshadow to her signature blonde curls. The second image recreates the famous photo of Pamela and Tommy in which Pamela bites his nipple ring.
For reference, here's the original. Consider me shaken to my very core.
Here's another of Sebastian as Tommy, which the actor posted to his Instagram with the Tommy Lee's quote, 'We don’t stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing,' as the caption.
The cast also includes Seth Rogen, who stars as Rand Gauthier, aka the guy who stole Pamela and Tommy's sex tape. Seth is also an executive producer for the series alongside his Point Grey partner Evan Goldberg.
Make sure to also keep an eye out for Nick Offerman as Uncle Miltie, Taylor Schilling as Rand’s wife and Pepi Sonuga as Pam’s best friend.
Is there a trailer for Pam & Tommy?
Not yet. You'll know as soon as we do.
When will Pam & Tommy air on Hulu?
There's no official release date yet but it's expected to air later this year.
