Here! Monday announced it will unveil a new documentary series this winter titled Everything You Wanted to Know About Gay Porn Stars *but were afraid to ask, giving viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the gay adult film industry.
Here! officials said the new series is scheduled to premiere sometime in November and will consist of six 30-minute episodes and a one-hour special.
Directed by John Roecker (Live Freaky! Die Freaky!), the series will feature profiles of some of the industry’s biggest stars including Johnny Hazzard, Brad Benton, Nick Capra, Jason Hawke, Nick Piston and Jason Ridge. The series is also executive produced by Chris Panizzon (Shelter) and features music by Tim Armstrong and Rancid.
Topics covered in the interviews with adult film stars include the impact of drugs on the industry, the dangers behind unprotected sex, depression, and the stigmas and drawbacks one must cope with when starring in the gay porn industry.
“Despite these very serious topics, the show manages to show us the lighter sides of these hunky entertainers, some of whom have very interesting and uplifting stories to tell,” network officials said.
Founded in 2002, Here! is available in 96 of the top 100 U.S. markets on major cable systems as a 24-hour subscription service.
