‘Laid’ Stars Stephanie Hsu, Zosia Mamet & More Preview Peacock’s Deadly Rom-Com Series

One-night stands and casual hookups are fairly harmless, right? Well, that couldn’t be further from the truth for Stephanie Hsu‘s Ruby at the center of Peacock’s new dark comedy Laid.

Inspired by the 2011 Australian comedy of the same name, Ruby finds herself in a dicey situation as she discovers that her former lovers are all dying in unusual ways. In order to move forward, and hopefully break the cycle, she has to go back through her sex timeline in order to confront her past. “She’s messy. I like it,” muses Hsu, who takes on a role quite different from her Oscar-nominated performance in Everything Everywhere All at Once.
