The FX limited series Dying for S-x is shaping up to be one star-studded affair, and another acclaimed actress just joined the cast. Oscar winner Sissy Spacek landed a recurring role in this promising project opposite Michelle Williams and Jenny Slate.
Dying for S-x draws inspiration from a hit Wondery podcast, and it stars Williams as Molly, a woman who realizes she missed out on a lot in life after being diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. She decides to leave her husband of 15 years and embark on a journey of self-discovery with the help of her loyal best friend Nikki (Slate).
Liz Meriwether and Kim Rosenstock serve as writers and showrunners of this series, and they’re also executive producing it alongside Williams, Katherine Pope, Nikki Boyer, Wondery’s Jen Sargent, Marshall Lewy, Aaron Hart, and Hernan Lopez.
Spacek joined the series Molly’s mother Gail, who has a complicated history with her daughter. The supporting cast will also include Rob Delaney, Jay Duplass, David Rasche, Kelvin Yu, and Esco Jouléy.
Spacek is a Hollywood veteran, who has one Oscar under her belt, and she’s been nominated for three Emmys for her work on TV. Her most recent credits include the comedy film Sam & Kate and the TV series Night Sky and Homecoming.
