Synopsis
Dying for Sex (2025) is a tragicomic limited series you can watch online on iFILM. When her breast cancer turns out to be terminal stage IV, Molly leaves her husband and decides to spend whatever time she has left chasing the one thing she's never really had: her own desire.
Michelle Williams plays Molly, with Jenny Slate as Nikki, the frazzled best friend who carries her through it — and it's that friendship, not the diagnosis, that anchors the show. Molly throws herself into dates, experiments and a run of funny, awkward, sometimes painful discoveries about sex and about herself. Sissy Spacek turns up as her complicated mother, and a neighbor down the hall gets a whole storyline of his own. It's drawn from the real Molly Kochan and her podcast of the same name.
Eight episodes from showrunners Elizabeth Meriwether and Kim Rosenstock, directed by Shannon Murphy of Babyteeth. The tone swings from raunchy comedy to outright goodbye, and never once sugarcoats dying into tidy melodrama. What's left is a frank, physical look at how badly a person can want to live when the clock is short. Stream Dying for Sex (2025) online on iFILM.
