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 Slate about the chance to play this more dramatic role and how she feels this part relates to some of her past projects.

All eight episodes of Dying for Sex are streaming on Hulu.
