Kathryn Hahn has been cast as the female lead in Jill Soloway‘s upcoming Amazon pilot “I Love Dick,” TheWrap has learned.

The series is based on the 1997 novel by Chris Kraus. Set in the small town of Marfa, Texas, the series follows a husband and wife, Chris (Hahn), in a failing marriage who discover they are obsessed with the same man, a professor named Dick.

Through that obsession, Chris goes on a journey of self-discovery. Told in “Rashomon”-style shifts of POV, I Love Dick charts the unraveling of a marriage, the awakening of an artist and the reluctant deification of a man named Dick.
