Hulu's New Comedy Sex Appeal Features Both Familiar Faces and Rising Stars

Abdalla leads the movie as Avery, an overachiever with a problem: her long-distance boyfriend wants to take things to the next level, and since she's terrified of being bad at anything, she convinces her longtime pal to be a "test subject" as she practices and explores with sex and love. Abdalla costarred on the Netflix series Project MC2 and, more recently, appeared on Cruel Summer.

Short plays Larson, Avery's oldest friend and "assistant" in her quest to figure out sex and love. He's a veteran of the Disney family, with past roles on A.N.T. Farm, Mighty Med, and Lab Rats: Elite Force.

Jackson, who most recently appeared on the American Horror Stories anthology, is set to play Danica. Her career includes songwriting and music videos, as well as a few small acting roles.

The comedian plays Ma Deb, one of Avery's moms. Cho is definitely one of the most recognisable names in the cast, with a long comedy career spanning the stand-up world and onscreen roles including in All-American Girl (which she also created), 30 Rock, Face/Off, Drop Dead Diva, and many more.

If you've watched much TV at all in the past several years, you've probably come across Pebdani, who plays the role of Ms. Carlson in Sex Appeal. You might have seen Pebdani on dramas like Scandal and Masters of Sex or comedies including The Goldbergs and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Hanyok, who plays Ms. Russell, is an actor, writer, and producer, with credits spanning over 15 years and several notable projects. She's appeared in dozens of movies and TV shows, including ER, Hart of Dixie, Transparent, Bunk'd, and Man with a Plan.

Henderson plays Kim, one of Avery's moms. You might recognise her from her roles on Westworld or Russian Doll, among several others. She's also slated to play a key role on the upcoming miniseries Inventing Anna.

Feimster's comedy career has included writing and acting on many of the most notable comedy projects of the last several years. She's had major roles on The Mindy Project, Chelsea, Champions, Life in Pieces, Q-Force, and many others, and she's currently starring on Kenan.

Szeto, who plays Mr. Vemmer, has appeared in both dramas and comedies over the course of the past decade. His résumé includes guest roles on The Good Doctor, What We Do in the Shadows, and Magnum P.I.
