Porn King: The Rise and Fall of Ron Jeremy



Abacus Media Rights

Length: 2 x 60' (1 x 90' feature also available)

Producer: BriteSpark Films

Following on from the global success of the Michael Jackson docuseries Leaving Neverland and the acclaim of political doc Four Hours at the Capitol, Abacus Media Rights is bringing a new two-part documentary series on the life, career and alleged misdemeanors of infamous porn star Ron Jeremy to Mipcom.

Titled Porn King: The Rise and Fall of Ron Jeremy, the docuseries charts the life of Jeremy, a former leading performer in the American porn industry who successfully crossed over into the mainstream. Despite his diminutive frame, he became a porn icon who rubbed shoulders with Hollywood stars and performed in over 2,500 films. In June 2020, however, Jeremy was arrested in Los Angeles and charged with 35 counts of rape and sexual assault against 23 women.

As he awaits trial, the series digs deeper and reveals the inside story of Jeremy's time in the industry with access to alleged victims, key players and archive footage.

Porn King falls into this category of the shock doc space, looking at the dark side of a dark industry, says Jonathan Ford, Managing Director at Abacus. "This is very much a story about a man who has walked across the boundaries of his industry and celebrity and become known as a major star: He's appeared in everything from the Swedish Celebrity Big Brother to Hollywood films. And while you might already think porn is a dark industry, you learn about the further abuse that was going on."
