"The Playboy Club" hasn't even aired yet and it's already creating controversy.
The new NBC drama takes place in 1960s Chicago at the eponymous establishment. Eddie Cibrian plays playboy Nick Dalton. He's surrounded by a bevy of Bunnies, including Amber Heard of "Pineapple Express" fame, "Step Up" star Jenna Dewan Tatum, and former 3LW singer Naturi Naughton.
When Heard's character Maureen finds herself in trouble, Dalton comes to her aid. Trouble is, he's already got a girlfriend in veteran vixen Carol-Lynne (played by Laura Benanti). Click on the "Launch Gallery" button to see the cast in and out costume:
There's murder, intrigue, and bunny ears. Oh, there's sex too, or at least enough innuendo that the NBC affiliate in Salt Lake City will not air the series. But the cast was quick to downplay that aspect of the show during Monday's panel in front of the Television Critics Association.
"Look yeah, people were having sex, and I know somebody had sex, I just had sex in the bathroom," cast member Jenifer Lewis joked. "[The show] is about these women. It's character-driven, it will be fun, and I think I'm going to be fabulous in it."
