Hefner has been involved in the project and will reportedly share stories that have never been told about his life and career.
“It has been a long road in finding the right partners to tell the full story of Playboy as it has unfolded over these past 63 years,” Hefner said. “I’m pleased that this docuseries will shed light on what has been an incredible journey and the voice Playboy has had in the discussion of our ever-changing culture. Just as importantly, my hope is that it will inspire others to pursue their dreams.”
