CANADA—Queer sex icons Vanniall and Austin Spears are set to star in the second season of Out TV reality show Hot Haus alongside fellow competitors Cleo Mercury, Sin Salva, Delicious Gucci, Alicia Goku, and Giovanni V.
Vanniall is a black trans sex worker based out of NYC, known for her self-produced scenes and award-winning performances. Spears is a creator based out of LA, with an extensive resume of smut seen on sites like Crashpad, Genderflux, and Men.com. Both are looking forward to joining a star-studded cast of fellow content creators.
Hot Haus is hosted by reality TV star Tiffany "New York" Pollard and is produced by Daddy TV, a queer and sex worker-run production studio behind Out TV hits like For the Love of Dilfs, Miami Dolls, Fucking Smart, and X-Rated NYC.
The show is a celebration of queer sexuality, featuring established adult performers competing for the title of the "Next Queer Sex Symbol" and a $25,000 cash prize from industry sponsor Jerkmate.
Pollard, who came out as a sex worker herself in the first season, oversees a panel of judges through a contest showcasing unique performances that have never been seen before on TV.
The first episode of Hot Haus streamed on Out TV, Thursday, March 23, with weekly episode releases following. In addition to the contest episodes, there will be a casting special, a reunion, and behind-the-scenes episodes delving more into the competition debate and reactions among the cast as they fight to be the last queer standing.
The series also includes a twist where "even after elimination we are still together." Watch the whole season and follow each performer’s journey in full.
Spears and Vanniall are available for a variety of media queries or interviews, though viewers will have to watch the episodes to see who actually takes home this year's prize.
Vanniall said, "Being picked to compete on the second season of Hot Haus is already an amazing honor, knowing how hard the first season contestants worked and the level of experience and creativity among the other people cast. In today’s rising sex-negative and anti-trans climate, it’s more important than ever for us to have spaces to celebrate our sexuality and show what trans joy is capable of. Being a part of this with amazing performers like Austin and Tiffany Pollard was a once-in-a-lifetime experience."
Vanniall continued, "I hope people will watch to learn more about me, not just my creative ideas but also what drives me and our human feelings behind the performances. Hot Haus is not just a review of some of the greatest queer performers today, it allows us to be more than just performers. I became incredibly close with this cast and the producers while filming and can’t wait to see where this new family takes all of us!"
Spears said, "It’s so exciting to be sharing our season of Hot Haus with the world! As queer and trans sex workers, it’s rare that we get the opportunity to work on a show that’s so invested in us telling our own stories. The challenges really allowed each of us to tap into our own unique skill sets. I loved being a part of a project where the skills I’ve built up as a sex worker were valued and recognized. I know my fans are going to love a more intimate look at my creative process and I’m looking forward to earning some new fans too!"
Spears continued, "There aren’t enough trans mascs on TV and there’s such a variety of different performers out there who should be featured. I hope seeing us bare all on Hot Haus season two is inviting and inspiring to other creators!"
Hot Haus is available to stream on Out TV starting Thursday, March 23. Contact [email protected] for more specifics about different regions and timing availability.
Vanniall is available for interviews, appearances, being a source for a broader article, or writing her own articles or feature, print, podcast, etc. to talk about her story and work.
