Secrets of Playboy - Season 2

Season 2
Over the course of eight hours, season 2 expands the series' focus and examines the ripple effect of being involved with Playboy, exposing the blast zone, and showing how the Playboy experience continued to affect women's lives long after they finished posing for the magazine. Featuring new never-before-seen interviews with former Playmates and Playboy models, girlfriends of Hefner's, and three episodes hosted by investigative journalist and former Playboy cover model Lisa Guerrero, the series broadens its lens and examines how the Playboy's promise of sexual freedom posed a more complex reality in the outside world for the women who represented it.

Episodes

Who Wants to Be a Playboy Centerfold
Thousands of women across the nation vied for the chance to become a Playmate, but only 12 were chosen for the reality competition.

The Era of the Seven
After a divorce in the late 90s, Hugh Hefner became a bachelor again, and the era of the seven girlfriends emerged. For some, being one of the seven girlfriends was a highly coveted position that was as much a job as it was a relationship. Hef's girlfriends were not only supported by him, but they were used to publicly promote the Playboy brand during lavish events and club outings. But being a girlfriend was not all glitz and glam.

Playboy on Campus
In 1977 Playboy introduced pictorials featuring often barely-legal college women. Playboy went to university campuses across the country and hosted auditions for female students to pose and represent their school. While some of these women jumped at the chance to audition, others protested the magazine's presence on campus. For those that were selected, the choice to pose for Playboy sometimes resulted in unanticipated, far reaching consequences, in their personal lives and their careers.

The Truth Hurts
Sondra Theodore and her daughter Katie explore their dramatically different versions of life at the Playboy Mansion as they work to heal the trauma in their complicated relationship.

My Body My Choice
Posing for Playboy seems like a dream come true for many young women, but the allure of fame and fortune comes with a steep price: their bodies become commodities, their choices are restricted by a company that seeks to profit from their sexuality, and sometimes instead of opening doors for the women, it closes them.

Athletes Exposed
The sports world is often criticized for not only underpaying and undervaluing female athletes, but these women are also notoriously sexualized. It is something investigative journalist and former Playboy cover model, Lisa Guerrero has personally experienced during her time as an NFL cheerleader and sports reporter. Lisa talks with three athletes who made the controversial decision to pose for Playboy, and the backlash they received from appearing in with the magazine.

Women in Uniform
Playboy has long been known for its pictorials of working women. Perhaps none of these features were more tantalizing to their readers than those of women in uniform. Playboy cover model and investigative journalist Lisa Guerrero sits down with a former NYPD officer and a former US Air Force Training Instructor to discuss the highs, and lows, of their fateful decision to pose.

Standards of Beauty
While Playboy usually featured a specific standard of beauty in its magazine, it occasionally disrupted that norm by showcasing models not typically seen within its pages. Those decisions often created controversy. Investigative journalist and former Playboy cover model Lisa Guerrero talks with three Playboy models who were not the traditional women readers were accustomed to.
