I Love LA Episode 2 cast and guest stars explored

Rachel Sennott as Maia
Maia is the protagonist of I Love LA and a driven talent management associate who has been transferred to Los Angeles for further career growth. However, her plans get complicated when she meets with her old friends. She wants to be successful, but is also struggling with insecurity and the temporary nature of internet fame.
Wondering where you have seen Rachel Sennott before I Love LA? The actress shared credits on the popular film Shiva Baby and the 2023 film Bottoms.
Odessa A’Zion as Tallulah Stiel
Tallulah is portrayed as Maia's former college friend and a social media influencer who returns to LA with her own brand, displaying her chaotic charisma. She’s magnetic and endlessly online, but her confidence masks deeper instability and ambition. A'Zion's notable project was Grand Army.
Jordan Firstman as Charlie Cohen
Charlie is a celebrity stylist in West Hollywood and is portrayed as flamboyant. Charlie is one of Maia's closest friends, as he deals with celebrities as his clients. Although he is witty, he is also slightly cynical and is not thrilled about Tallulah's return since it has stirred some tension in the friend group. Jordan Firstman has shared credits in Rotting in the Sun and also appeared in Ms Marvel.
True Whitaker as Alani Marcus
Alani is a little laid back among all of them and is also privileged in Maia's circle. She is the daughter of a famous filmmaker and is working in her father's company. She also shows signs of emotional sensitivity, often serving as a bridge in the group.
Josh Hutcherson as Dylan
Dylan is Maia's caring and stable boyfriend, a Spanish teacher at an elementary school. He is different and isn't part of the influencer world like most of Maia's friends. Therefore, his grounded presence acts as a counterpoint to the often chaotic, ambition-driven lives of his friends.
Here is the list of guest stars who appear in I Love LA Episode 2
Ayo Edebiri as Mimi Rush
Mimi appears for a few episodes and is portrayed as a British-accented popstar and client of Charlie, the stylist. She is demanding and unpredictable, making Charlie struggle to satisfy her. Her arrival shakes up Charlie's world when he learns about her professional ambitions.
Annalisa Cochrane as Paulena
Paulena is shown as an influencer based in New York and is also Tallulah's competitor, disguised as a friend. She is the one who injects the competitive tension into their group and embodies a high-stakes influencer rivalry that Tallulah craves and also fears.
