Hulu is making a series about Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee’s sex tape scandal, reportedly starring Lily James and Sebastian Stan.

The limited series, which has the working title Pam & Tommy, will focus on the famous couple’s sex tape from their honeymoon being stolen and leaked to the public in 1995.

The pair’s romance, which dominated headlines in the Nineties, started with them getting married after only knowing each other for 96 hours. The leaked VHS tape turned led to a legal dispute, with Anderson suing the video distribution company Internet Entertainment Group and Lee entering into a confidential settlement deal with them. The couple divorced in 1998.

According to Deadline, James and Stan are on board to play Baywatch star Anderson and Mötley Crüe drummer Lee.

Seth Rogen, meanwhile, is set to play the man who stole the tape, with Craig Gillespie (I, Tonya) directing the series and Rob Siegel (The Founder) writing.
