Exclusive: xXPonyBoyDerekXx, described as “a boundary-breaking digital play fusing theater, film, and mixed digital media into an epic multi-week online event,” will play out across the internet on X (formerly Twitter) and OnlyFans starting today, executive producer John Cameron Mitchell announced.
The project, from Mitchell and producer Arterial Projects, is written by playwright Gage Tarlton and co-directed by Tarlton and Carlos Cardona, and follows the character of an 18-year-old OnlyFans creator in real-time as he navigates “a fraught path of autonomy, capitalism, sexuality, and survival amid the demands of physical commodification in a virtual world.”
The story, utilizing a hybrid approach to drama, will be told entirely through OnlyFans and X posts, with producers describing the story as “an incendiary coming-of-age story detailing how the internet distorts reality and leaves a mark on the young and on-line body.”
Viewers will need to subscribe at OnlyFans.com/xXPonyBoyDerekXx. The xXPonyBoyDerekXx videos are all pre-recorded.

Pornhub launched a video series titled Consent Event on Wednesday. Produced in partnership with Pillow Talk, the series gathers artists, activists and academics for roundtable discussions about the different ways consent impacts daily life.
In an episode exclusively obtained by Variety, which you can see below, panelists including Chloë Sevigny and intimacy coordinator Teniece Divya Johnson remember past experiences with on-screen sex and nudity where conversations about consent were not prioritized.
In particular, Sevigny thought back to a project she worked on in her 20s where her costar had a last-minute change of mind about performing in an intimate scene.
“There’s a pivotal scene, and one of the actors knew what it was, they’ve lived this character forever, and they decide they don’t want to do it,” she said. “I’m caught between having to fight for the actor and what they want or don’t want,...

Kerry Washington, Zoë Kravitz, Rosario Dawson, Don Cheadle and Niecy Nash-Betts were among the 160,000 SAG-AFTRA members who urged Congress to pass the Crown Act, which prohibits discrimination based on hair style and texture.
In a strongly worded letter sent to the U.S. Senate, SAG-AFTRA encouraged Congress to pass the bill, as it is an essential step to making all workplaces safe for people of color, and it is consistent with the Guild’s efforts to advance equity and inclusion in the media and entertainment industry.
The Crown Act stands for Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair.
“The Crown Act is a huge step in ending discrimination based on hair in public education and work spaces,” said SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher. “People should feel free to style their hair how they feel most comfortable without the threat of prejudice and unequal treatment. The Crown Act will protect...
