Wicked Closes Out 2nd Half of Seth Gamble's 'Deranged'

LOS ANGELES—The final episode of Seth Gamble's eight-part narrative directing debut, Deranged, premieres today on Wicked.com. Produced by four-time AVN Director of the Year and Wicked head of production Axel Braun, the moody psycho-sexual thriller began the second half of its roll-out on April 1 with an episode featuring headliner Kenzie Taylor and 2022 AVN Best New Starlet nominee Kayley Gunner. The final three scenes showcase Coco Lovelock—another '22 Best New Starlet nominee—and industry veteran Jennifer White in pairings with male lead Tommy Pistol and 2021 AVN Best Male Newcomer Alex Mack. “I am really proud of this series,” enthused Braun, who has collaborated with Gamble on dozens of highly acclaimed movies over the past 15 years, including the mega-hit Star Wars XXX in which his protégé played the lead role of Luke Skywalker, ”and I could easily say I was blown away by Seth’s directing prowess, but the truth is I knew he had it in him all along. We are literally witnessing the birth of a directing career that will take him all the way to the top, and I couldn’t be happier for him. There is simply nobody else in the industry who is as driven and as focused as Seth, and this series is proof that his talent for visual storytelling is incredible. The grand finale of Deranged is nothing short of epic, and I am thrilled that our first foray into continuous-storyline projects has been such a huge success! "Kenzie is a fantastic actress,” continued Braun, who directing her himself in the blockbuster Captain Marvel XXX. “She made her acting look effortless, while the reality is that she immersed in the role completely, to the point of writing a 46-page backstory for her character. Also, she is drop-dead gorgeous and literally exudes sexuality, which is a weapon she uses to great effect in her performance. It’s a huge accomplishment that she achieved not only thanks to her undeniable talent, but also through her hard work and commitment to the craft, and I couldn’t be more proud of her!”  Of Jennifer White’s pairing with Alex Mack—the first of her two sex scenes in Deranged's latter half, Gamble offered, “Jennifer brings a lot of experience and professionalism to the set, and you could really see it in her scene with Alex. It was actually one of Alex Mack’s first features and the scene was shot outside at night. I want to thank both Jennifer and him for pulling off such a great scene—and they did it in 45 degree weather!” See that scene and the finale with White and Pistol now exclusively on Wicked.com.
