Career

The series took a journalistic approach to exploring taboo aspects of modern sexuality, with Sciortino as host. In 2017, Sciortino and Murguia co-created a Viceland television series, also called Slutever, which built thematically off the webseries. The second season of Viceland’s Slutever aired in 2019.
