Inspired by the story of Molly Kochan, previously told on a Wondery podcast of the same name, Dying for Sex stars Williams as Molly, who receives a diagnosis of Stage IV metastatic breast cancer and, after deciding to leave her husband (Transparent‘s Jay Duplass), begins to explore the full breadth and complexity of her sexual desires for the first time in her life.
“Gird yourself, Molly has a lot to accomplish in the little time she has left,” the logline tells us. “There’s no time for pearl clutching or passing judgement, Molly has no interest in what you think about her proverbial bucket list (btw, this phrase will always provoke an eye roll). She gains the courage to embark on this adventure from her ride-or-die Nikki (Slate), a woman whose love and devotion will compel you to pick up the phone and call that friend already!”
The cast also includes Rob Delaney (Catastrophe), Kelvin Yu (Clone High), David Rasche (Succession), Esco Jouléy (State of the Union) and Sissy Spacek. Kim Rosenstock and Elizabeth Meriwether — who both hail from New Girl and Single Parents — serve as co-creators, writers and executive producers on the series.
