Exclusive: Margaret Odette on playing Sasha Snow in the Netflix Sex/ Life Season 2
Currently playing on Netflix is Season 2 of Sex/ Life starring Sarah Shahi (Billie Connelly), Mike Vogel (Cooper Connelly), Adam Demos (Brad Simon), and Margaret Odette (Sasha Snow). Created by Stacy Rukeyser, among the recurring cast are Cleo Anthony (Kam), Craig Bierko (Mick), Darius Homayoun (Majid), Dylan Bruce (Spencer), Jonathan Sadowski (Devon), Li Jun Li (Francesca), and Wallis Day (Gigi).
Written by Stacy Rukeyser inspired by BB Easton’s self-published memoir 44 Chapters About 4 Men, Sex/Life is the story of a love triangle between a woman, Billie Connelly (Shahi), her husband Cooper (Vogel), and her past which takes a deliciously steamy new look at female identity and desire.
Odette plays Sasha Snow, Billie’s ride-or-die and together, they unleashed their wildest, sexiest selves all over lower Manhattan – and all of its handsomest men. Unlike Billie, Sasha actually finished her PhD at Columbia, and is now a celebrated author and psychology professor at her alma mater. She’s still fabulous, still queen of the Lower East Side — and still Billie’s go-to bestie.
This is Odette’s first series regular role. Other film and TV credits include Sleeping with Other People, Elementary, Blind Spot, Boogie, and Step Up: High Water. She also played the lead role of Hero in Kenny Leon’s production of Much Ado About Nothing in 2019 in NYC’s Shakespeare in the Park.
