In Dying for Sex, Molly (Michelle William) is diagnosed with stage four cancer and realizes that it’s time to invest in trying to fulfill her sexual desires, which means breaking things off with her husband Steve (Jay Duplass) and, among other R-rated flings, starting a relationship with her despicable neighbor (Rob Delaney). Based on the podcast of the same name by Nikki Boyer, the series also explores Molly’s close friendship with the ever-loyal Nikki (Jenny Slate).
Awards Buzz spoke with Delaney and Duplass about connecting to their characters and the privilege of working opposite Williams. Watch the videos above to hear from Boyer and creators Kim Rosenstock and Elizabeth Meriwether about the process of adapting the podcast for TV and finding the right balance and tone to make it an effective and memorable watch.
All eight episodes of Dying for Sex are now streaming on Hulu.
