Why Dying for Sex Costars Michelle Williams and Jenny Slate Feel Humbled by Parenting Young Kids: 'Spiritual Masters' (Exclusive)


While speaking to PEOPLE about making the emotionally intense new series 'Dying for Sex,' costars Michelle Williams and Jenny Slate opened up about being parents to young children and how they made them feel humbled during filming.

Over the course of shooting the eight-episode series, they two had a symbiotic relationship and developed "a verbal and nonverbal shorthand," Slate says, explaining that "so much of this project is about communication. Helping to release the tension on set, the two told Good Morning America that they indulged in food therapy by getting lots of ice cream and pizza trucks for the cast and crew. Going off that, Slate adds, "To have a cup with a lid and some small person isn't gonna bump into you and spill the thing all over yourself, I mean, it's a luxury."
