Maitland Ward to Produce, Star in Mainstream Series 'The Big Time'

LOS ANGELES — Maitland Ward has announced she will headline and co-produce "The Big Time," a mainstream comedy series in development with Leaving Normal Productions.

Ward recently inked a two-year contract extension with Vixen Media Group; following her 2019 adult biz debut, the lauded performer has earned six XBIZ Awards for her acting and scene work.

"The Big Time" is designed around Ward's central role as "a world-famous adult superstar trying to save a waning film studio on the brink of collapse. Armed with a plan to shake things up, she hires a nerdy aspiring writer and mama’s boy to breathe new life into her steamy scenes," noted a rep

Brett Azar ("Young Rock," NBC) has been cast in a costarring role.

“When I read the script, I fell in love and immediately knew I’d want to be a part of it in a significant and impactful way,” said Ward. “It’s exciting for me to be able to marry my creative talents as an actress and my experience in the adult world to create such an original, fun character and a powerful female-driven, sex-positive project — and to be involved as a producer takes all of this to a new level.”

The series was created by Leaving Normal's Zerelda Nothnagel and Mikey Rodriguez. Besides Ward, Tim O'Hanlon of Velvet Horizon Films and Charlie Alberto IV will also produce. Rob Alicea is an executive producer.

"We are beyond thrilled to have Maitland be a part of 'The Big Time,' both as the star and producer," Nothnagel said. "She brings invaluable insight and authenticity to a subject that is often misunderstood, and does so through a sex-positive lens."
