Sex/Life on Netflix follows the story of Billie Connelly, a suburban mother who takes a fantasy-fuelled trip down memory lane, causing her to call into question her past and present relationships and who she truly is.

Who is in the cast of 'Sex/Life'?

Billie Connelly - Sarah Shahi

Sarah Shahi leads the cast of Sex/Life as Billie Connelly, a suburban wife and mother-of-two living in Connecticut with her husband Cooper (played by Mike Vogel).

Bored of married life and questioning her entire life choices, Billie's mind turns to her former flame Brad Simon (Adam Demos). But when her husband Cooper gets a hold of her diary, her deepest thoughts and secret fantasies become exposed.

The series follows Billie on her journey of self-rediscovery, risking everything along the way.

Shahi is an American actress, best known for her role as Sameen Shaw on the CBS crime drama Person of Interest.

Viewers may also recognize Shahi from her role as Detective Dani Reese in Life and Jenny in Alias.

Most recently, Shahi starred in The Rookie as Jessica Russo and Rachel Behnam in City on a Hill.

Speaking to Refinery29 about taking on the role of Billie, Shahi reflected: "This character, from the beginning, was somebody that took over my heart, body, mind, and soul from the moment I inhabited her.

"I got to know myself in a more spiritual way, in a more sexual way, and become more uninhibited myself."

Brad Simon - Adam Demos

Adam Demos takes on the role of Billie's ex-boyfriend Brad Simon.

Eight years after breaking up with Billie, Brad is back in her life and trying his best to win her back, causing a serious rift in Billie and Cooper's marriage. Demos' performance has gained a lot of attention, particularly due to a certain shower scene in which he appears nude.

Demos spoke candidly to Entertainment Weekly about doing his full-frontal scene, saying: "I was okay with it because you read the script and know what you're getting yourself into from the start, so I don't think you would sign on to a show after reading the script and then say no last minute.

"That doesn't mean you can't have discussions about comfort level, which they allowed us to have—and with the intimacy coordinator, so it felt a lot safer."

Demos is an Australian actor, best known for his role as Jake Taylor on the Netflix film Falling Inn Love. He is also known for playing August Walker on the Netflix series Unreal and Nate Baldwin in Janet King.
