32 Hours. One Wedding. Total Mayhem. Meet the cast of Worst Man

Ahead of Worst Man’s release this August, it is time to meet the cast. Here are some of the unforgettable characters at the heart of this sun-soaked chaos!

Set against a luxury island wedding where nothing goes to plan, the story brings together a wildly entertaining ensemble — each with their own secrets, motives, and complicated ties to the couple. Check out a snapshot of some of the key players.

Meet the wedding party:

  • Radcliffe Raleigh–the Worst Man, a charming relationship-ruiner with principles and not enough sleep
  • Chris Kafka–the Best Man and best friend of the Groom, a romantic, a fan of control, and a man who desperately wants his friends to have the wedding they deserve
  • Battista Lovely–the Groom, an anxious, superstitious man who is as much motivated byfear as love
  • Natsuko Nevis–grouchy data broker, as well as Rad’s best friend and occasional accomplice
  • Domino McElligott–the Bride, a shy, but kind-hearted, woman very beaten down by her mother
  • Valentina McElligott–the mother of the Bride, a controlling and manipulative mother andall-around evil billionaire
  • Merritt Tilford-McElligott–the sister of the Bride, and largely estranged from the family thanks to beefing with their mother
  • Chester Lovely–the father of the Groom, Dad Vibes given human form
  • Francesca Lovely–the mother of the Groom and, possibly more importantly, mother to Templeton Dandelion Meriweather Lovely
  • Galatea Tilford–wife to Merritt, supportive to a fault and far too obsessed with true crime podcasts
  • Kamilah Kimberlite–the Maid of Honour, thecentre of every stage she’s on
  • Rayna Rosales–the other friend of the Bride, almost as good at being a friend as she is a hypochondriac
  • Waldo Honeychurch–cousin of the Bride, a well-meaning all-around human disaster
