How to Die Alone, a new comedy series created by Natasha Rothwell and Vera Santamaria, debuts on Disney+ on September 13, 2024. The comedy tackles the personal quest of Melissa, played by Natasha Rothwell, a neurotic, overweight black woman who, after narrowly escaping death, decides to transform her life to finally realize her dreams. Starring Conrad Ricamora and Jocko Sims, How to Die Alone promises a funny and touching exploration of the challenges and aspirations of a woman trying to rewrite her destiny.
Melissa, a.k.a. Mel, is a black, overweight, neurotic, financially struggling employee at JFK airport. Having never been in love, and after a near-death experience, she makes a radical decision to change her life completely and give herself a second chance. In a hilarious and heartfelt way, Mel embarks on a quest to become a "real winner", ready to do anything to achieve her goals and reinvent herself, without letting personal or societal obstacles hold her back.
How to Die Alone is aimed at fans of funny, introspective comedies, those who have enjoyed series such as Fleabag or Insecure (in which Natasha Rothwell has already made a name for herself). Exploring themes such as self-reinvention, body perception and the challenges of modern life, this series stands out for its frank approach, while offering wry, touching humor. The characters, portrayed by a talented cast, add depth and freshness to this unique comedy.
With How to Die Alone, Natasha Rothwell delivers a bold and moving comedy series about personal transformation, self-acceptance and the quest for happiness. Available on Disney+ from September 13, 2024, this series promises to be a hilarious and heartfelt reflection of the inner struggles and aspirations of its protagonist, Mel. A must-see for fans of social comedies and tales of reinvention.
