From small-town Pennsylvania to the corner office of a media empire—that’s the arc Hulu’s new docuseries Call Her Alex traces when it begins streaming Tuesday, June 10, at 12:01 AM ET. The two-part documentary follows the unlikely rise of Alex Cooper, the woman who turned a sex and dating podcast into a full-blown cultural phenomenon—and, in the process, redefined what it means to be a female voice in the digital age.
Directed by Ry Russo-Young (Nuclear Family), Call Her Alex catches up with Cooper as she gears up for her first tour, giving viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the life-defining moments that shaped her. The series presents Cooper as someone who’s not just building a brand, but creating a space—one where women feel seen, heard, and given permission to live out loud, even when it means bucking convention.
The streaming giant is clearly betting big on Cooper’s story resonating beyond her built-in podcast fanbase. Call Her Alex arrives at a moment when the lines between entertainment, media, and influence are increasingly blurred, and Cooper’s trajectory—from self-conscious kid to CEO in just six years—is a case study in how to build an empire from the ground up, one candid conversation at a time.
Call Her Alex premieres Tuesday, June 10 at 12:01 AM ET on Hulu.
