HBO programming president Casey Bloys welcomed plans Wednesday for more oversight of on-set intimacy, simulated sex and nudity — months after HBO began requiring on-set intimacy coordinators for productions that feature sexual content.
SAG-AFTRA announced over the weekend that it plans to “standardize, codify and implement guidelines” on such productions. HBO first introduced an intimacy coordinator to the set of “The Deuce” in October, at the behest of actress Emily Meade. The show chronicles the rise of the porn industry.
Asked if HBO led the charge, he told TheWrap, “We’ve absolutely led and I think it’s been great.”
