We’re very excited to see a familiar face head up the upcoming rom-com series, How To Die Alone, coming to Hulu next month. Natasha Rothwell, who played the beloved Belinda on The White Lotus, will portray Melissa, an airport employee who’s lost her lust for life until she faces a life-threatening situation that completely changes her perspective. The trailer already has us giggling and swooning, so we know the series is going to be an absolutely empowering must-watch once it launches.

Read on for everything we know about the show!


What is 'How To Die Alone' about?

Per Hulu, How To Die Alone follows Melissa, “a broke, fat, Black JFK airport employee who’s never been in love and forgotten how to dream, until an accidental brush with death catapults her on a journey to finally take flight and start living by any means necessary.”

The official trailer gives us a sneak peek at Melissa’s journey as her co-workers, friends, and family help hype her up to explore everything outside of her comfort zone. The show looks to be equal parts inspiring and comedic – sharing the same flair Rothwell brought to her role in The White Lotus.

How To Die Alone will launch with four 30-minute episodes, with new additional episodes premiering on Fridays.
