While some of them are quick to forgive her, others aren’t. She needs to figure out how to earn their trust and forgiveness again. She also needs to re-learn how to interact with groups of women, which seems like a Herculean task because of the hurdles created by her own imagination.

Trailer
The trailer of Kat Dennings, Brenda Song and Shay Mitchell starrer 'Dollface' was released on October 16. The Hulu show's trailer features Dennings as Jules, who ends up at Madison Maxwell's (Brenda Song) door because she is dumped by her boyfriend of half a decade, Jeremy. When her boyfriend tells her that he wants to end their relationship, Jules asks him about all their future plans. Like the retreat at Lake Tahoe or Ramona's wedding in spring and her boyfriend points out that the retreat is organized by his company and Ramona is his sister. This clearly indicates how Jules has no life of her own, and that all her plans revolved around her boyfriend, his friends and family. After breaking up with him, Jules begins to see things and this includes a cat lady (Beth Grant) who drives a bus, literally a lady with a cat face at the driver's seat!
The show executive produced by Margot Robbie sees Jules realize that over the five years that she was in a relationship, she has lost touch with her friends. She finally builds courage and knocks on her friend Madison's door after five years and funnily enough, Madison can clearly see that Jeremy broke up with Jules. The show will see Jules reevaluate relationships, rekindle her friendship and learn new things in the process which includes her not being a buzzkill. All of this, in addition to Jules' strange mind that imagines these absurd scenarios play out make will make 'Dollface' an entertaining show.
