Chieng will portray Harris, Kevin’s (Walton) friend and former college roommate, an atheist without a filter who “loves to debate” and mostly ruins every social interaction by getting in his own way — and everybody else’s.

Wokoma will play Abby. While friend and co-worker Morgan (Alderfer) agonizes over job and relationship fulfillment, Abby is happy to hate her job as long as the check clears, and hit on cute Rabbi Sarah without hesitation.

Parker Young, Vanessa Marano and Laura Marano also star.

Chieng has been a correspondent for The Daily Show With Trevor Noah since Noah took the reins in 2015. His other credits include his half-hour scripted series Ronny Chieng: International Student, loosely based on Chieng’s real life experience as a Chinese law student in Australia. He was most recently seen on the big screen as Eddie Cheng in Crazy Rich Asians. He’s repped by APA, Artists First, Cohen & Gardner Law, and Century Artists Australia.

Wokoma’s credits include Year of the Rabbit, Chewing Gum and Crazyhead. She is repped by Gersh and MGMT 360.
