Hulu unveils Dying for Sex trailer starring Michelle Williams
Hulu has released the official trailer for its upcoming provocative series Dying for Sex, featuring Academy Award-nominated actress Michelle Williams in the lead role. The highly anticipated show is set to premiere on April 4.
The series follows Molly, a woman diagnosed with Stage IV metastatic breast cancer, who embarks on a transformative journey of self-discovery. Determined to reclaim her autonomy, she leaves her husband, Steve (played by Jay Duplass), and sets out to explore new experiences and desires.
Inspired by the real-life story of Molly Kochan, Dying for Sex is based on the popular podcast hosted by Kochan's best friend, Nikki Boyer. The show delves into themes of empowerment, intimacy, and the pursuit of pleasure despite life's uncertainties.
Hulu unveiled the trailer on March 18, offering viewers a glimpse into Molly's unapologetic approach to life. In one scene, Molly confides in her friend Nikki (played by Jenny Slate), revealing her dissatisfaction with her sex life and confessing she has never experienced an orgasm. This sparks the idea of creating an erotic bucket list, leading her to explore online dating. The synopsis emphasizes that Molly is unbothered by judgment, stating, "There's no time for pearl-clutching—Molly has no interest in what others think about her journey."
The series boasts an impressive cast, including Rob Delaney, Kelvin Yu, David Rasche, Esco Jouléy, and Oscar-winning actress Sissy Spacek. Fans are eagerly anticipating Williams' return to the screen, marking her first role since The Fabelmans.
Reactions to the trailer have been overwhelmingly positive. One fan on X raved, 'Anything with Michelle Williams is a must-watch!' Another praised her performance, writing, 'She has that energy that reels you in—I'll be seated for this.'
Notably, Dying for Sex also marks an on-screen reunion for Williams and Slate, who previously starred together in Venom (2018).
Hulu's Dying for Sex premieres on April 4.

Immerse yourself into 'The Matrix'
In a Los Angeles theatre, a trench coat-wearing Neo bends backwards to dodge bullets that spiral over the viewer's head, as the sound of gunfire erupts from everywhere. This new immersive experience is designed to be a red pill moment that will get film fans off their couches at a time when the movie industry is desperate to bring back audiences, as reported by AFP. Cosm, which has venues in Los Angeles and Dallas, is launching its dome-style screen and 3D sets in June with a "shared reality" version of The Matrix, the cult 1999 film starring Keanu Reeves as a man who suddenly learns his world is a fiction. "We believe the future will be more immersive and more experiential," said Cosm president Jeb Terry at a recent preview screening. "It's trying to create an additive, a new experience, ideally non-cannibalistic, so that the industry can continue to thrive across all formats." Cinema audiences were already dwindling when the Covid-19 pandemic broke out, shuttering theaters at a time when streaming was exploding. With ever bigger and better TVs available for the home, the challenge for theater owners is to offer something that film buffs cannot get in their living room. Prestige projects like Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning or Christopher Nolan's Oscar-winning Oppenheimer increasingly opt for the huge screens and superior film quality of IMAX. But Cosm and other projects like it want to go one step further, collaborating with designers who have worked with Cirque du Soleil to create an environment in which the viewer feels like they are inside the film. For filmmakers, it's all about how you place the cameras and where you capture the sound, said Jay Rinsky, founder of Little Cinema, a creative studio specialising in immersive experiences. "We create sets like the Parisian opera, let the movie be the singer, follow the tone, highlight the emotions through light, through production design, through 3D environments," he said. The approach, he said, felt particularly well suited to The Matrix, which he called "a masterpiece of cinema, but done as a rectangle." For the uninitiated: Reeves's Neo is a computer hacker who starts poking around in a life that doesn't quite seem to fit. A mysterious Laurence Fishburne offers him a blue pill that will leave him where he is, or a red pill that will show him he is a slave whose body is being farmed by AI machines while his conscious lives in a computer simulation. There follows much gunfire, lots of martial arts and some mysticism, along with a romance between Neo and Trinity, played by the leather-clad Carrie-Anne Moss. The Matrix in shared reality kicks off with a choice of cocktails – blue or red, of course – which are consumed as the audience sits surrounded by high-definition screens. Shifting perspectives place the viewer inside Neo's office cubicle, or seemingly in peril. "They're sometimes inside the character's head," said Rinsky. "The world changes as you look up and down for trucks coming at you." The result impressed those who were at the preview screening. "It just did feel like an experience," influencer Vince Rossi told AFP. "It almost feels like you're at a theme park for a movie."
