What does it take to become the most influential female podcaster of a generation? Following Alex Cooper as she prepares for her first tour, this compelling two-part documentary series traces Cooper’s evolution—from a self-conscious kid growing up in Pennsylvania to the voice behind “Call Her Daddy,” a podcast that redefined the conversation for women everywhere. Directed by Ry Russo-Young (“Nuclear Family”), the docuseries offers an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at the life-defining events that shaped Cooper’s journey as she grew from a 24-year-old woman with a sex-and-dating podcast to the CEO of a media empire in just six years. More than just a success story, it’s a portrait of a woman who is creating a space where women feel seen, heard and empowered.
“Call Her Alex” is directed by Ry Russo-Young (Peabody Award-nominated “Nuclear Family”). Russo-Young also serves as an executive producer alongside Braden Bochner and Christopher Foss. Holly Siegel is producing. “Call Her Alex” is produced by Unwell. The deal was negotiated by Hulu and by Lionsgate on behalf of Unwell.
