We consider fermionic polar molecules in a bilayer geometry. The dipole-dipole interaction between molecules of different layers leads to the emergence of interlayer superfluids. The superfluid regimes range from BCS-like fermionic superfluidity to BEC of interlayer dimers. The system shows unusual two-dimensional scattering behaviour [M. Klawunn et al., Phys. Rev. A 82, 044701 (2010)] and exhibits a peculiar BCS-BEC crossover [A. Pikovski et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 215302 (2010)].
