Lily James and Sebastian Stan have already stunned fans with their transformation for their upcoming show Pam & Tommy in which they play the roles of Baywatch icon Pamela Anderson and Motley Crue frontman Tommy Lee. Now, the miniseries has unveiled a brand new trailer which shows the couple deal with their infamous sex-tape scandal that wreaked havoc in their personal lives and their relationship.

Seth Rogen stars as the couple’s disgruntled contractor who stole the sex tape and made the video from underground bootleg-VHS curiosity to full-blown global sensation when it hit the Web in 1997. The eight part miniseries explores the thin line between privacy, technology and celebrity, tracing the origins of our current Reality TV and social-media obsessed era to a stolen tape seen by millions that was just meant for an audience of just two.

When she tries to make Stan understand the consequences of such scandal on her career, he says, “I'm on that tape just the same as you," but she replies, "But this is worse for me." Pamela and Tommy tied the knot in Mexico in 1995 after dating for just four days! The couple got divorced in 1998 after welcoming sons Brandon and Dylan.
