Segarra is fresh off starring in the final season of the Max comedy The Other Two, and his credits also include recent roles in The Big Door Prize and She-Hulk. Behpoornia’s filmography includes supporting parts in Max’s Hacks, Hulu’s Reboot, and Netflix’s Atypical, while Norris is best known for starring in the Netflix teen comedy Never Have I Ever.
