X-Rated: NYC is back, and things are about to get messy.Returning for a sophomore season, the OUTtv original once again gives us an unprecedented look at the lives of some of the gay adult film industry’s most iconic performers: Boomer Banks, Dante Colle, Joey Mills, and Max Konnor.
But we’re sure you’re already well-acquainted with these four!It’s been about a year since the guys were together, and they didn’t necessarily all part ways on the best of terms, so this reunion’s going to be a little “uncomfortable” to say the least (to use Colle’s words).And from the looks of a the trailer, it’s going to be a plant-smashing, sex toy-waving, drag queen-tumbling, booty-twerking, screaming-and-shouting-filled good time.Season two will find them “rekindling relationships, producing new projects, and partying like adult film stars,” plus—in a pretty meta twist—these new episodes will also follow the foursome around as they premiere the first season of the show.
Which surely won’t have them digging up year-old drama, right? (Wrong.)Produced by Daddy TV, X-Rated is part of a long line of reality shows that stretch the meaning of “reality”—and that’s exactly how we like it.
Operating as both a parody of the genre and a fascinating (and surprisingly heartfelt) glimpse behind the scenes, the series comes into its own in season two.That’s because, while there are plenty of dramatics, X-Rated continues to be an unprecedented platform for frank discussions about the ins and outs of the gay adult film industry, the good and the bad.
