The released teaser for thePam & Tommyseries shows the beginning of this infamous legal battle. Itbegins with Seth Rogenand Nick Offerman as the two individuals responsible for selling and distributing the infamous tape of Anderson and Lee. In fast-forwarding through the stolen tape, glimpses of Anderson and Lee’s lives are shown, including Anderson’s run as C.J. Parker inBaywatchand Lee’s rockstar lifestyle. Anderson and Lee struggle to share the same issues with the tape after they realize it’s been released. In what seems to be a scene of Anderson suggesting Lee doesn’t care about the tape in the same way she does, Lee reasons that he’s on the tape, same as her. Anderson responds by saying, “No, not like me you’re not.”
The blatant disregard of Anderson and Lee’s private moments make the real characters of Rand Gauthier (Rogen) and Milton Ingley (Offerman) the villains ofPam & Tommy.Hulu makes this clearin the short two-minute teaser, using conversations between Gauthier and Ingley to demonstrate their willingness to push the envelope. At one point, Ingley and Rand marvel at how private the tape is before Ingley goes on to not-so-subtly suggest the release and distribution of the tape to a public audience. Hulu’s teaser ends with Anderson and Lee discovering the online leak of the tape for themselves.
