Jenny Slate is a comedic powerhouse, lighting up our screens from her run in Saturday Night Live to her acclaimed stand-up performances. And with acting credits including It Ends With Us and Gifted, to her award-winning portrayal in Obvious Child, her star is only rising.
This season, she’s returning to the spotlight in Disney+ series Dying for Sex - and the defining role will almost certainly change her career. The inspiring limited series is based on the story of the late Molly Kochan, a woman whose terminal cancer diagnosis prompted her to leave an unhappy marriage to explore her sexuality. But at its heart, Dying for Sex is a love letter to female friendship, with Kochan (played by Michelle Williams) choosing to die next to the love of her life, her best friend Nikki (Jenny Slate).
