LOS ANGELES—2023 AVN Male Performer of the Year nominee, director and Gamma exclusive contract performer Seth Gamble is following the success of his multiple-award-nominated debut narrative production Deranged with new opus Privilege. Produced by four-time AVN Director of the Year and Wicked Head of Production Axel Braun, Privilege is an eight-scene limited series whose second episode, featuring 2023 AVN Female Performer of the Year nominee Vanna Bardot and veteran Braun regular Ryan Driller, debuts today on Wicked.com.
A gripping drama set in the Machiavellian world of the mega-rich, Privilege is the story of towering family patriarch Alexander Nash (Evan 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 (Lexi 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 Alexander's personal saga unfolds, the torrid sex lives of his family come to light in a chain of events that will expose more dirty laundry than anyone has bargained for.
"When I started writing Privilege, I asked myself, 'What makes telling a story in a series form so memorable and gratifying to watch?' The answer came down to the way in which the format has the cinematic feel of a movie, but with multiple opportunities to explore the emotions and motivations of the individual characters," Gamble explained. "The result is a work with the substance to stand on its own, along with the time to expand on the plot and, especially, the characters. You become invested in the story, and especially in the characters who are driving it. For Privilege, with all its characters and the intertwining family dynamics, the eight-episode series format was the ideal length to give the viewer a more focused plot and, therefore, a more satisfying entertainment experience from beginning to end."
This character-oriented approach to adult storytelling is already yielding rewards for the moviemaker. His previous series, Deranged, garnered five high-profile nominations from AVN.
Of the new episode’s female lead, Vanna Bardot, Gamble enthused, “Not only is Vanna up for Female Performer of the Year from AVN, but she’s nominated for Best Solo/Tease Performance for her work in my movie Money. She has that classic movie star look. She’s absolutely stunning. When I created this character for Privilege, she was the first person that came to mind as being capable of pulling it off as both an actress and an erotic performer.” The episode pairs Bardot with veteran performer Ryan Driller, the Wicked Comix regular best known for playing Superman in the AxelVerse a record eight times.
“Working on this project was such an amazing experience,” offered Bardot. “Seth is truly such a visionary director, from the way he gives direction to pairing talent and so much more. Both of my sex scenes in the movie were such a thrill in their own ways, very much like what my character was going through. This is without a doubt one of the projects that I truly look forward to watching.”
The second episode of Privilege, starring Vanna Bardot and Ryan Driller, is available now exclusively on Wicked.com.
