Michelle Williams stars in 'Dying For Sex' as terminal patient exploring sexuality

The FX series 'Dying For Sex,' now streaming on Disney+, stars Michelle Williams as Molly Kochan, a woman with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer who leaves her husband Steve (Jay Duplass) to explore her sexual desires. Based on the true story from the Wondery podcast created by Kochan and her best friend Nikki Boyer (played by Jenny Slate), the eight-episode show blends drama and humor. Williams described Kochan's choice as 'courageous, unusual, and audacious' in an interview with Harper's Bazaar. The cast also includes Rob Delaney, Kelvin Yu, David Rasche, Esco Jouléy, and Sissy Spacek. The narrative focuses on Kochan's sexual awakening and her deep friendship with Nikki, who supports her without judgment. The series reframes sex as a right and a connection to identity, not merely physical pleasure.
