Simon Rich’s absurdly unique Man Seeking Woman has done an astounding job at displaying the horrors of dating and looking for love in some of the most surreal ways possible. The series’ star, Josh Greenberg (Jay Baruchel), has run through the gauntlet of trolls, angels, run-of-the-mill monsters, and even the grim reaper as he’s attempted to prove himself in the dating world. In spite of literally having gone to Hell and back, this year sees Josh in his most challenging and rewarding trial yet: a long-term relationship.

Josh’s new love interest, Lucy, kicks off the season’s premiere and really gets a strong opportunity to assert her character. Man Seeking Woman is full of a lot of powerful comedic performers, but Katie Findlay absolutely kills it as Lucy. She’s not only a great foil to use against Josh, but an infectious character in general. Lucy arguably gets even more of a focus this season than Josh does, with this show’s new relationship-heavy perspective. I got the opportunity to chat with the show’s newest cast member, Katie Findlay, about what Lucy brings to the table, the show’s strong female perspective, and futons.

DEN OF GEEK: I kind of love that the first episode of the season really throws you into Lucy’s life. It’s arguably even more from her perspective than it is Josh’s. Did you appreciate the audience getting such a thorough introduction to you?

KATIE FINDLAY:: Oh absolutely. I’ve been nothing but appreciative of the handling of Lucy this entire time. I didn’t really realize in the initial stages what a big part of the show that she was going to be. I was happy just to be a part of the show in the first place. So discovering day by day, and through conversation with Simon [Rich], understanding how important she was to him and how carefully she has been constructed. It would have been intimidating if I had had time to worry about it, but I was sort of discovering piece by piece.
