Amy Schumer is back with a new comedy, and she’s got a lot of familiar faces alongside her.
Now streaming on Netflix, “Kinda Pregnant” centers on a woman who has dreamed of settling down and becoming a mom, but life hasn’t had that in the cards for her just yet. So, when her best friend gets pregnant, she kind of spins out.
That spin-out includes using a pregnancy belly to fake her own, but of course, that scheme quickly goes awry. It gets very messy.
Here’s who you need to know in the film.
Lainy Newton (Amy Schumer)
Lainy Newton is a schoolteacher who has always wanted to settle down and start a family, but she doesn’t have the best taste on who to settle down with. She’s played by “Trainwreck” and “I Feel Pretty” star Amy Schumer.
Kate (Jillian Bell)
Kate is Lainy’s best friend, and has been since they were kids. She’s played by Jillian Bell, who has starred in films like “22 Jump Street,” “Rough Night,” “Brittany Runs a Marathon” and more.
Megan (Brianne Howey)
Megan is a mom Lainy meets at a yoga class specifically for pregnant women, and she’s deeply honest about how hard pregnancy actually is. She’s played by “Ginny & Georgia” star Brianne Howey.
Josh (Will Forte)
Josh is Megan’s brother, and Lainy’s new love interest (though she doesn’t know both of those things at the same time). He’s played by “SNL” veteran Will Forte.
Shirley (Lizze Broadway)
Shirley is a young co-worker of Lainy and Kate’s, and gets pregnant around the same time Kate does. Lainy is… not a fan. Shirley is played by Lizzie Broadway, best known for her roles in “Gen V” and “Here and Now.”
Fallon (Urzila Carlson)
Fallon is a co-worker of Lainy’s who slowly becomes one of her best friends. She’s also the only one who finds out Lainy’s secret early on. She’s played by New Zealand comedy star Urzila Carlson.
Dave (Damon Wayans Jr.)
Dave is Lainy’s boyfriend at the start of “Kinda Pregnant,” but of course, he doesn’t last too long. He’s played by Damon Wayans Jr., who’s currently starring on “Poppa’s House,” but is best known for his time on “New Girl.”
Steve (Chris Geere)
Steve is Megan’s husband, and a really big fan of Jada Pinkett Smith’s podcast. He’s played by Chris Geere, who you might recognize from “This Is Us,” “You’re the Worst” or possibly “Modern Family.”
Rawn (Alex Moffat)
Rawn is Shirley’s husband and the father to her baby, and he’s pretty stoked about it. You’ll recognize him from his time on “Saturday Night Live” as well.
