The series is based on a 2014 Rolling Stone article describing the story of how Anderson and Lee's sex tape was stolen and released. Pamela Anderson refused to get involved, expressing disbelief that "people are still capitalizing off that thing" that "was painful enough the first time around", even declining to read a letter Lily James sent asking for her blessing Lee was also not involved with the series but he supported it. Riegel, a frequent collaborator of Gillespie's, was attached as editor. Siegel writing and Rogen and Goldberg executive producing the miniseries. Craig Gillespie was set to direct with Robert D. By December 2020, Franco had left the series and it was announced that Hulu had greenlit the project with an eight-episode limited series order. The series was first announced in 2018, with Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg developing the project under their production company Point Grey Pictures and James Franco attached to direct the miniseries and play Tommy Lee.
