The afternoon gave way to the evening and Williams was later joined by a male co-star on set.

For her 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 bustling streets of New York chatting with her scene partner.

Carrying a large dark bag with one arm, Williams and her male co-star would eventually break out into laughter as they stood on the side of the road.

While still smiling and laughing, a car pulls up in front of the pair, and Williams’ character proceeds to hop in the vehicle to end the scene.     

Directed by Leslye Headland, who’s 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.

The production has reportedly been in the works for years, but it only just picked up momentum this past spring, but them negotiations temporarily stalled again due to SAG-AFTRA and the WGA strikes. 

The shoot, which marks her return to acting following her brief hiatus, is her first project since she shot 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 on the end of September.

The role earned the Kalispell, Montana native a number of accolades, including an Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations, among many others.
