According to the production notes, Supersex unfolds over seven episodes totaling 350 minutes, and it aims to portray more than a public figure. The series will explore the tension between desire and vulnerability, presenting the performer as a multi-faceted individual who navigates fame while revealing personal dimensions that rarely surface on screen. The creative vision seeks to balance frank storytelling with sensitive character development, inviting audiences to reexamine the intersections of art, sexuality, and identity. (Source: Variety)
