Stephanie Hsu, Zosia Mamet Star in Laid

The upcoming Peacock series 'Laid,' starring Stephanie Hsu and Zosia Mamet, follows Ruby, a party planner whose former lovers are dying in the order she dated them, prompting her to confront her past. Hsu, who is also an executive producer, described the unique premise as a dark romantic comedy that blends humor with deeper questions about love. Both actresses highlighted their strong chemistry and collaborative spirit, noting how their similar approaches to acting enriched their performances. Hsu emphasized the challenge of portraying the complex character of Ruby, addressing the audience's perceptions of her character. 'Laid' is based on the Australian series of the same name, and neither Hsu nor Mamet watched the original to maintain creative independence. The series is set to premiere on December 19, with all eight episodes available on Peacock.
