Former “UnREAL” showrunner Stacy Rukeyser has another soapy dramedy on the way. Netflix has given a straight-to-series order for “Sex/Life,” The Hollywood Reporter confirms. Described as “deliciously steamy,” the eight-episode series is based on BB Easton’s 2016 memoir “44 Chapters About 4 Men” and “tells the story of a love triangle between a woman, her husband, and her past.”

Rukeyser will serve as showrunner on “Sex/Life” and write the project. She’s also among its exec producers. Her other credits include “One Tree Hill,” “Greek,” and “The Lying Game.”

“What’s most exciting to me is I have the ability to tell stories of women who feel real to me, and stories that feel real and personal to me,” Rukeyser said during her tenure on “UnREAL.” “I remember trying to pitch those stories on other shows, and you would just get laughed at. That’s to me is the most exciting thing about this moment that we’re having in Hollywood right now. Because to me,” she explained, “it’s more about just creating a safe environment for everyone at work, though that’s certainly a huge important step that’s happening right now. It’s also about looking at the sort of internalized sexism and the unconscious bias that exists that is preventing women from creating and producing more shows. And we need to get more voices out there so we have more examples of complicated, real, flawed women, stories that really resonate with audiences.”

Other upcoming Netflix series on our radar include a semi-autobiographical coming-of-age comedy from “Late Night” star and screenwriter Mindy Kaling  and “Ginny and Georgia,” a mother-daughter drama with Debra J. Fisher (“Being Mary Jane”) set to showrun.
