Watch Dying for Sex: Preview

Brace yourselves: this heartfelt true story about friendship and following your deepest desires in your darkest hours is guaranteed to take viewers on an emotional rollercoaster ride. Starring Michelle Williams as Molly, a woman who embarks on a sexual odyssey after receiving a terminal cancer diagnosis, and Jenny Slate as Nikki, her fearlessly loyal best friend, this limited series looks to be frank, funny, and utterly devastating. You can binge the entire series now with our guide below, which details how to watch Dying for Sex online and free in the US with a Hulu subscription.

Auspiciously, writer and producer Elizabeth Meriwether led the charge for his eight-part drama. She’s enjoyed commercial success with sitcoms like FOX’s New Girl, and more recently, hit a critically acclaimed homerun with The Dropout. Like Dying for Sex, that series was also based on a popular podcast. It secured multiple award wins for its lead actress, and we’d be surprised if Williams (Brokeback Mountain, Fosse/Verdon) didn’t bag a few more trophies for her crowded mantlepiece. Word is, she’s utterly sensational in the part of Molly Kochan.

Kochan was an aspiring writer from New York who, a few years after she'd moved to LA and got married, was diagnosed with breast cancer. After endless rounds of chemo and radiation therapy, the disease appeared to be beat, until she received the devastating news that it had returned and was now metastatic, i.e. terminal. Galvanized to “self-realize” during her remaining days, she separated from her husband of fifteen years and embarked on a series of sexual encounters, committing to “feel everything for as long as I can,” as William’s expresses it in the series’ trailer. Kochlan recounted her experiences to best friend Nikki Boyer, who released their conversations as a podcast a year after her death in March 2019.

Taking us on Molly’s emotional journey as she works through her kinky bucket list, Williams delivers a beautifully-realized performance. And she’s ably matched by a talented ensemble cast. Laura Babiak of The Observer has praised the “deliriously delightful dynamic” between her and Slate (Obvious Child, Big Mouth) as her devoted friend Nikki, while comedian Rob Delaney (Catastrophe), Jay Duplass (The Puffy Chair), and legendary actress Sissy Spacek (In The Bedroom, Carrie) each lend their own uniquely affecting portrayals, as Molly’s neighbor, husband, and mother respectively.
