Quick rundown of some of the fresh characters:
Esha Kapur (Freida Pinto) is an Indian-American personal fitness trainer. She owns three fish. Their names are Harold, Elmo, and Stick. Her lifelong goal is to replace David Letterman and become a talk show host. She is constantly pretending she's in the middle of an interview (no matter who she's talking to).
Carson Avery (Avan Jogia) is sibling to Zaki Elliot and fraternal twin of Asher Grey. Carson has since graduated from NYU with a degree in Physics, but was apart of the figure skating team there and began to participate on a national level. Carson will develop and discover they are agender and prefer they/them/their pronouns.
Sofia Rossi (Gemma Arterton) is an Elementary school-teacher and Improv artist. Based in Chicago, IL she is apart of an improv group called the Neo-Futurists who perform 30 plays in 60 minutes. She's done skits like Jalapeño poetry where she eats a Jalapeño and attempts to recite poetry for the duration of her skit.
Kofi Cooley (Keith Stanfield) is a student studying Graphic Design, with an interest in illustration. Calvin & Hobbes sparked his interest in comic books and shows like The Boondocks made him want to create his own. He works as an usher at a movie theater part-time.
Aliyah Moore (Antonia Thomas) is a blogger/movie critic who works as an administrative assistant at a startup company in the Bay Area. Her only interest is women. Zero interest in men. She thinks they’re gross because they pass inappropriate comments at her all the time and rants about them on her blog because straight boys are disgusting.
Jacob Riley (Cam Gigandet) is an automobile mechanic and is your classic gross, heterosexual white boy who acts like a cocky piece of shit and passes sexist/racist commentary frequently like an ignorant ass.
Harry Fletcher (Nick Offerman) is a bus driver. He glares a lot at the little schoolchildren but he is, in fact, very protective of the little nuggets that board his bus. He likes fishing and drinking an ice cold beer. He stares at his wife from the door of the bedroom frequently while she clips through magazines for coupons, and tells her he loves her in a very impassive voice.
Malik Bishop (Idris Elba) is a Dean of a University and is just your regular wholesome educator. He likes seafood. Very much. He eats cereal straight out of the box and keeps things like a tamagotchi on him at all times. I don't know why. He likes those things. He gets very concerned about his little friend he constantly has to feed.
Kyland Reither (Til Schweiger) is a German filmmaker (he refers to himself as an auteur but.), and is currently unemployed and homeless and the only thing he owns on his person and refuses to give up is his camera. He takes creepshots of people and asks them odd questions like what sort of objects they have in their home and the strangest things they've done with said objects so he can get ideas for his...films. He likes to pick at people. And imagine the way they would look in front of the lens of his camera.
Jian Wong (Godfrey Gao) is a hired gun based in Amsterdamn who is part of a Mercernary gang. He works closely with Asher Grey. Preferred weapon of choice? Bats.
Yusuf Atiyah (Thom Morell) is a Palestinian/Syrian-American who is the ultimate dork that basically thinks he's Superman. He's very loving and protective of his family. He likes cooking, scrabble, video games, and playing his guitars and covering songs by Cat Stevens.
Mickey Sayles (Norman Reedus) is a divorced Chef with two kids Lila and August Sayles. His children are his life. Gummy worms are his main form of sustenance. He is a cat and ferret lover, and when his kids come by to visit him he often has to coax Toast and Battery (his two cats) to not hide under furniture away from tail-grabbing children.
Jameela Amiri (Rihanna) is a photographer for a fashion magazine. Very ambitious and career-driven she will do anything to get to the top and doesn't care who she crushes with the heel of her Louboutins on the way.
Guy/Yvette Laboso (Stromae) is a half-French, half-Kenyan footballer who, due to a football injury that put him out of commission for awhile he now performs/sings at local bars and clubs on stage. Due to his fame on the field he has slowly gained prominence in the music industry and is in talks with a record company as his talents became more widely recognized. He identifies as bigender but his preferred pronouns are he/him/his.
