Michelle Williams was spotted in New York City on Friday night filming the new FX limited series Dying For Sex
The afternoon gave way to the evening, and Williams was later joined by a male co-star on set.
For her on-camera time, the costume department had Williams change into blue denim overalls with a black overcoat and white Converse All-Star sneakers.
The five-time Oscar-nominated actress was photographed making her way along the busy streets of New York as she chatted with her scene partner.
Carrying a large dark bag in one arm, Williams and her male co-star would eventually burst into laughter as they stood on the side of the road.
While still smiling and laughing, a car pulls up in front of the couple and Williams’ character jumps on in the vehicle to end the scene.
Directed by Leslye Headland, who is working from scripts written by Elizabeth Meriwether and Kim Rosenstock, the cast includes Jenny Slate, Max Darwin, John-Deric Mitchell and Jenni Ruiza.
Meriwether and Rosenstock also serve as showrunners and executive producers with Headland, Meriwether’s longtime collaborator Katherine Pope, Nikki Boyer, host and co-creator of the Dying for Sex podcast, and Wondery’s Jen Sargent, Marshall Lewy, Aaron Hart and Hernan Lopez.

This is Michelle’s first project in two years since she starred in Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans (2022)
Production has reportedly been in the works for years, but it only took off this spring, but negotiations temporarily stalled again due to the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes.
The shoot, which marks her return to acting after her brief hiatus, is her first project since filming The Fabelmans, Steven Spielberg’s semi-autobiographical film about his childhood, in which she played Mitzi Fabelman, a character inspired by his mother.
The coming-of-age drama was shot in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic in Los Angeles, starting in mid-July 2021 and lasting 59 days until ending in late September.
The role earned the Kalispell, Montana native a number of accolades, including an Oscar and Golden Globe nomination, among many others.
