Tainted Dreams, the Emmy-nominated digital series based on the behind-the-scenes antics of a fictional hit TV soap opera, has announced that Seasons 1 and 2 of this hit series will stream on the new (and free) platform Popstar! TV beginning September 23, 2019. Tainted Dreams originally debuted on Amazon Prime in 2016 to a large audience passionate about daytime soap operas. It is still available on Amazon, but has now added PopStar! TV to its platforms. #Tainted Dreams is a steamy dramedy following the cast and crew behind the scenes of a hit TV soap opera called Painted Dreams. It’s filled with lots of twists and turns, current issues and of course all the type of drama we love to see on soaps. The show is filled with iconic stars from daytime as well as few well-known reality and off-Broadways stars. The series was created by Sonia Blangiardo, who is part of the Emmy-winning director team at Days of Our Lives. There will be a bonus episode on Popstar! TV, one that gives some background on how all the characters came to be a part of Painted Dreams, which is sure to please fans of the series. You can download the Popstar!
