(Hollywood, CA) Adam & Eve Pictures has wrapped the first six episodes of a new XXX soap opera titled The Young & the Rest of Us with AVN Hall of Fame member Will Ryder writing and directing. The all original production is an intense drama starring a cast of eighteen that takes a provocative look at family life in small town America. Set to go online at adamevetv.com first with individual episodes followed by Adam & Eve VOD and then full delivery on DVD in the fall. New episodes will follow as they are produced.
“Soap operas have been popular on radio for eighty years and television for nearly sixty years so an episodic series that tackles real life issues with dramatic flair and plenty of sex made a lot of sense to both Adam & Eve and X-Play so we are honored to have been chosen to produce and direct this huge project, “Ryder remarked.
Set in the fictitious university town of College Grove, the original soap opera will focus on problems facing college-age youth and their parents including corruption, scandal, lies, drugs, politics, cheating and sexual experimentation threatening the very fabric of American family life.
“College Grove might look like a sleepy college town but it’s alive and wide awake,” said co-producer Scott David. Hard-hitting issues will bring the series to epic highs with cliff hangers and sex being integral to the storyline.
The first six episodes will feature a large ensemble cast starring Sarah Vandella, Chloe Amour, Holly Heart, Bentley, Anya Ivy, Katerina Kay, Nikki Daniels, Josie Jagger, Gemma Jolie, Christie Stevens and Vyxen Steel. When it came time for the men, everyone agreed that Steven St. Croix needed to be a central character. He is joined by Nick Manning, Alec Knight, Tyler Nixon, Seth Gamble, Chad White and Ryan Mclane. Additional actors and actresses will join the cast as new episodes are created.
“I had never worked with St. Croix before and I promise I want that guy a part of everything I shoot moving forward. He’s a fabulous actor,” Ryder admitted.
If successful, Adam & Eve Pictures is ready to produce a block of twenty more episodes allowing the story to go in multiple directions just like today’s television soap series. The director said he is open to veteran actors and new faces joining the cast as the series progresses.
“I used to be a big fan of General Hospital back in the day and an old buddy of mine has been on the Young & the Restless for twenty years and I used to visit that set all the time. I can tell you that our Adam & Eve soap opera has a lot more naked girls having sex then they do over at CBS,” Ryder joked. Ryder was also inducted earlier this month into the XRCO Hall of Fame.
The project is part of an effort by Adam & Eve to bring quicker entertainment bites for customers looking for new forms of adult entertainment. The XXX soap opera now heads to editing before making a splashy late summer debut. Ryder and Adam & Eve Pictures have also recently teamed together to create an upcoming feature movie called Love, Sex & TV News about the exploits of a Los Angeles television news station. Both projects will debut end of the summer.
