Executive producer Stephanie Hsu stars as Ruby, a woman who discovers that her former lovers are dying in unusual ways and must go back through her sex timeline to confront her past and move on. Ruby's best friend AJ (Zosia Mamet) helps keep her sex timeline in order so every last ex is mentioned.
The main cast also includes Michael Angarano and Tommy Martinez; Andre Hyland, Olivia Holt, David Denman, Finneas O'Connell, Chloe Fineman, Ettore 'Big 'E' Ewen and John Early will guest star.
“When we started to develop Laid (2024), we were intrigued by the idea of bringing back the old-school, traditional romantic comedy (swelling music! kisses in the rain! Anne Hathaway or someone who is also appealing!), but because we were living in such a dark time (pandemic! industry strikes!), we felt it needed to have some kind of twist,” shared co-showrunners and executive producers Nahnatchka Khan and Sally Bradford McKenna in a joint statement.
They continued, “Sure, it could be optimistic and heartwarming and make you believe in love again, but it should probably also have suspense, death, and blood. The premise of Laid—a woman discovers all of her exes are dying in mysterious ways—seemed exactly what we were looking for: a f*cked-up rom-com.”
