Jenny Slate (Dying for Sex) has been tapped as the female lead opposite Dylan O’Brien in the Hulu comedy pilot Lex.

Written by Sean Clements, the comedy centers on Lex (O’Brien), a disgraced former reality star who accidentally films a murder in the background of a $20 Cameo video, and finds himself at the center of a global conspiracy — and on the run from powerful forces who want him dead. Using the skills he acquired navigating reality TV’s toxic social dynamics, Lex must fight to not get killed, to expose the truth, and most importantly… to get back on TV.

Slate will play the only other series regular role in the pilot, Holly, the recently fired personal assistant of a murdered tech CEO, who gets sucked into a global conspiracy along with former reality star Lex (O’Brien). Using her organizational skills—and a knowledge of firearms she picked up somewhere along the way—she’ll help Lex try to clear his name. If it eliminates her as a suspect, too, great!
