The “snuggle is real” in HUG IT OUT, a new, digital comedy series following Gwen, a professional cuddler.
In this weird, intimate and hilarious world, Gwen must find a way to connect with her cuddling clients – among them a war vet dealing with PTSD; an agoraphobic furry; a religious woman with postpartum depression; a recovering nudist; and her estranged best friend – and also to finally start to face her own intimacy issues in the process.
