Joe Dempsie is set to star in new drama ‘Adult Material’.
The 31-year-old actor recently wrapped his time as Gendry on ‘Game of Thrones’, and has already thrown himself into a new project as he’s been announced as part of the cast for a new Channel 4 drama called ‘Adult Material’, which is set to explore the porn industry.
Joe will star in the show – which is being created by screenwriter Lucy Kirkwood and production company Fifty Fathoms – alongside Hayley Squires, Siena Kelly, Kerry Godliman, Rupert Everett, Julian Ovenden, and Phil Daniels.
‘Adult Material’ is set in modern Britain and will delve inside the porn industry from the perspective of a woman who has been working in it her entire adult life and has seen it grow from an illegitimate backroom enterprise to a mainstream and highly profitable business.
Hayley Squires will star as Jolene Dollar, a regular mother of three who is one of the top porn performers in the UK, while Joe will play Rich, her loving and dedicated long-term partner.
Siena Kelly co-stars as Amy, a 19-year-old girl and newcomer to the porn industry, whom Jolene tries to protect, but quickly finds her relationship with this unstable young woman causes her own career and home life start to unravel.
Rupert Everett will play Jolene’s friend, producer, and businessman Carroll Quinn, while Julian Ovenden plays US porn Kingpin Tom Pain, and Kerry Godliman plays Stella Maitland, an MP who forms an unlikely friendship with Jolene.
‘Adult Material’ will consist of four hour-long episodes, and is set to go into production this summer. The series is being written and produced by Lucy Kirkwood, and directed by Dawn Shadforth.
As of the time of writing, there is no release date for the series.
