LOS ANGELES—"First Month’s Interest,” the fifth episode of Seth Gamble’s limited series Privilege, debuts today on Wicked.com, featuring Lexi Luna and Tyler Cruise.
Privilege is an eight-scene project written and directed by the 2023 AVN Male Performer of the Year and Gamma contract star, featuring a star-studded cast led by industry veteran Evan Stone. Set in the Machiavellian world of the mega-rich, Privilege is the story of towering family patriarch Alexander Nash (Stone), who rules his family with an iron fist and a soft spot for his youngest daughter (April Olsen). He's in the middle of a huge deal that he can't let anyone sabotage, from his duplicitous ex-wife (Luna) to his gold-digging new bride (Julia Ann), who has her eye on his money ... and his beloved son Liam (Nathan Bronson).
Meanwhile, Nash's other son Lucas (Lucky Fate), a compulsive gambler, puts the entire family empire in jeopardy through sheer ineptitude. As Nash's personal saga unfolds, the torrid sex lives of his family come to light in a chain of events that lead to scandal.
"Narratively, the first four episodes of Privilege really focused on establishing the rivalries and schemes that surround Alexander Nash and potentially threaten his empire," Gamble said. "In the fifth episode of the series, ‘First Month’s Interest,’ we're exploring a sexual entanglement that hits even closer to home for the family patriarch, as it involves his cunning ex-wife portrayed here by Lexi Luna. Lexi is an incredible performer and actor, and she played this role to perfection. I couldn’t have been happier with this casting, and her scene with Tyler Cruise is one of the best in the movie.”
Luna echoed the industry veteran: “Wow! This was a career highlight experience for me,” she said. “Working with Seth as a performer was always a delight and seeing him step into every role seamlessly makes me very proud to have been a part of his project! Thank you to Tyler for trusting me to unleash a side of Lexi Luna rarely seen through this role.”
Of Cruise, Gamble revealed, “Ever since I worked with Tyler on SpideyPool, he has really impressed me not only with his performances, but also with his willingness to learn and grow and really grasp how to be better. I’m really proud of him and how well he handled this role, which is very different from the way he’s been cast in the past. This is definitely one of the more passionate scenes in the movie; the chemistry and connection he and Lexi portray is very real.”
Cruise, who returned to Wicked after his debut for the studio in last year’s SpideyPool XXX: An Axel Braun Parody, had equal praise for Gamble and his co-stars.
“I really enjoyed my time on the set of Seth Gamble’s Privilege,” Cruise said. “Seth wrote my character based on how I am in person so it was a really easy day. Especially when you get paired up with Lexi Luna, who immediately became one of my favorite girls to work with after our scene. It’s obvious to see the amount of work and effort that everyone put into this movie when you see the final result.”
"First Month’s Interest" is available now exclusively on Wicked.com.
