Dying for Sex: How a Surprisingly Sexy Show About Cancer Was Brought to Life
Dying for Sex. “I have to be a mom to my kids! I can’t have a full-on breakdown.”The moment felt like a fitting end for the interview, given the themes of the FX series that Meriwether co-created, wrote, and executive produced with her friend and former collaborator Kim Rosenstock. While, yes, Dying for Sex is technically inspired by the real-life story and podcast of Molly Kochan, a woman with Stage IV cancer, and her best friend Nikki Boyer, who was by Molly’s side until her death in 2019, it’s never dreary or maudlin—quite the opposite.
