PRAGUE, Czech Republic — With exploding ratings in the UK and a viewership hungry for its behind the scenes look at the adult industry, Virgin Television Media’s Bravo television network renewed its reality show hit “Porn Week” for a fourth season.
In response to the growing interest in “Porn Week,” the network also ordered an extended run for the series, shot during the premium fantasy camp getaways of the same name organized by award winning adult director Gazzman and acclaimed entrepreneur and director Dave West. Porn Week’s vacations are held around the world and offer a front row seat to a live adult set. Started in 2001, Maxim, FHM and Stuff featured Porn Week and it was named a top 10 adult destination by AskMen.com and AOL.com. Its brand has grown to include a hardcore version of the reality show distributed by Shane’s World, also titled “Porn Week.”
“We knew Bravo’s response to the show was tremendous and grew with each season, but this took us by surprise,” Gazzman said. “We’re planning bigger and better Porn Week events so this is great news. Our trip to LA was in the can when we got word of the expanded season and we’re pleased the viewers will be able to watch us on our next stop, St. Tropez in France.”
West said the unique experience Porn Week offers — instruction by award winning directors, nighttime events with porn stars and special castings for participants looking to get in front of the camera — makes for great television and explains the program’s growing popularity on networks such as Bravo, Showcase in Canada and iNDEMAND in the US.
“What goes on during a shoot is something that many people wonder about,” West said. “It’s something many people would like to do. Visitors aren’t usually invited to sets because they’d just get in the way, but Porn Week’s organized so we can do our job and they can watch us work. The guests also get the chance to learn how the business operates and, unlike crowded fan and trade shows, get to know their favorite performers on a one-on-one basis.”
The fourth season of “Porn Week” will premiere in Spring 2009.
