LOS ANGELES, CA – (May 15, 2020) – Leading adult entertainment studio Wicked Pictures is pleased to announce its initial forays into original web content are receiving glowing reviews. Warmly embraced by fans and critics alike, contract director Brad Armstrong’s adult drama PORN: The Series and Wicked Girl jessica drake’s docu-sodic series jessica’s FANtasies are streaming on wicked.com. During the month of May, non-members 18+ who visit the site and sign-in with the promo code FREEMAY will receive complimentary seven-day member access.
Conceived by visionary creator Brad Armstrong, the 4K ‘meta-porn’ drama Porn: The Series dramatizes true industry stories and represents Wicked’s entry into the world of sexy, prestigious, and star-studded limited series content. “This project is extremely intriguing, mainly because it feeds the yearning many fans have of getting to know personal things about their favorite performers,” the editors of the industry trade journal XBIZ observed in their review of the first two episodes of Porn: The Series, ‘Content Trade’ and ‘Oh God…Oh God…Oh God.’ “Follow any star on social media and their feed is littered with fans asking them personal questions about the sex they have in movies. They want to build that connection and knowing real truths about the sex they have on-set is one way they can do that. Through this series, viewers will get an idea of what their favorite stars might be going through.” (Go here to read the full review.) Industry news portal AIP Daily was even more effusive, awarding ‘Oh God…Oh God…Oh God’ a five-star Editor’s Choice review that praised its take on “anti-porn groups and what they do to get their message across. Kendra Spade plays a former performer who gets brought in by the group to film a PSA whose aim to prevent people from pursuing a career in porn.” (Visit AIP Daily to read the reviews in their entirety.)
These thoughtful critiques speak to Armstrong’s own ambitions for the ambitious project. “It’s great when the talented actors and actresses get a chance to show their acting abilities and get recognized for it,” he said. “The cast and crew brought their A-game and it definitely shows in the finished product. PORN: The Series has been an exciting new challenge and I’m really happy the fans and reviewers have enjoyed it so much and are giving us such positive feedback!”
A first for Wicked in both content and style, jessica’s FANtasies provides wicked.com members an intimate 4K look at the life of its creator. “jessica drake writes, directs and performs in her new documentary-styled, episodic showcase, which grants fans an unprecedented level of input on the content,” XBIZ writes. “As one of the most prolific stars in the biz, coming off a strong year where her showcase Divine was recognized as the XBIZ All-Sex Movie of the Year, drake returns with a unique project that exists as a direct response to fan feedback.” The magazine’s critique of the first two episodes, ‘My Younger Lover’ co-starring Tyler Nixon, and ‘Bathing Beauties,’ featuring XBIZ Girl/Girl Performer of the Year Charlotte Stokely, positions the series as “groundbreaking and trendsetting in these uncertain times, offering fans a comforting repose from the harsh reality of the world around them by giving them a ticket to the reality of sex on film.” Reviewer Count Serreno concludes by stressing the added value such exclusive programming brings to wicked.com. “I’ve never seen a company offer this type of perk for being a member of their website. Not only is it an incredible incentive, but it creates a very intimate connection between jessica, Wicked, and their fans.”
“I’m so grateful to have two well-received projects out right now, especially during these times,” jessica said. “My new series FANtasies launched almost two months ago, pre-COVID-19, and though it’s been on hiatus, we are beginning to plan for the next one, starting with a member vote on wicked.com. The first few episodes of PORN: The Series have proven to be a raging success as well, as is expected from an Armstrong project. It will be interesting to see what the series has in store for us.”
“Early on in this pandemic, I made the decision to continue to try to provide fans with consistency and community by doing an IG live daily,” she continues. “I also see that reviews, new memberships, and views definitely indicate the need for fans to have a fantasy to escape to, and I am honored to be a part of that. I’m very grateful to Wicked.com for everything they’re doing during these difficult times, and I look forward to creating more amazing movies in the future.”
Porn: The Series and jessica’s FANtasies are the latest additions to the revamped wicked.com, which showcases acclaimed features directed by Armstrong, hit parodies created by Axel Braun for his Wicked Comix and Wicked Fairy Tales imprints, the romance-oriented Wicked Passions line, the award-winning educational series jessica drake’s Guide to Wicked Sex, and classic blockbusters featuring the iconic Wicked Girls – a goldmine of erotica 27 years in the making.
