Dying for Sex Creators Discuss Depicting BDSM in the Show & How Conversations Have Changed

Having collaborated on shows like New Girl and Single Parents and individually earned credits on acclaimed series like The Dropout and Only Murders in the Building, Liz Meriwether and Kim Rosenstock are two of the most interesting voices in television today, and I mean that in the most literal sense. Not only do the two excel at crafting fresh, interesting plots and multi-dimensional character dynamics, but their dialogue is some of the very best in the business, with Dying for Sex no exception. Finding the perfect balance between sharp, laugh-out-loud comedy and devastating emotional beats, Dying for Sex will have you laughing countless laughs and crying just as many tears. The series follows a woman named Molly (Michelle Williams), who decides to divorce her husband of a decade and a half (Jay Duplass) after being diagnosed with Stage IV cancer to discover what truly brings her pleasure. On her journey of sexual and self-discovery, she encounters an array of romantic partners — including an enemies-to-lovers dynamic with a man in her building known simply as Neighbor Guy (Rob Delaney) — and is supported by people like her progressive palliative care counselor, Sonya (Esco Jouléy), and best friend, Nikki (Jenny Slate). The show tackles everything from child molestation to BDSM to death in a refreshingly nuanced — and often surprisingly hilarious — way. Collider got the chance to speak to Meriwether and Rosenstock about casting Williams and Slate, addressing the fact that women are often not listened to by medical professionals through Sonya, that wild but beautiful scene with Robby Hoffman, and more. #dyingforsex #lizmeriwether #kimrosenstock For interviews, movie reviews, and more visit https://collider.com FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL   / collider     / collider     / collider
