Mika Abdalla On The New Hulu Film “Sex Appeal,” The American High Team, Future Plans & More

In the new Hulu movie Sex Appeal, Avery Hansen-White doesn’t do things she isn’t excellent at. So when her long-distance boyfriend hints at wanting to take their relationship to the next level, she sets out to master her sexuality, employing her oldest friend Larson as a test subject. In this hilarious teen comedy, Avery’s study results in the realization that there is far more to sex and love than mechanics.

Sex Appeal stars Mika Abdalla as the aforementioned Avery Hansen-White. Its cast also includes Jake Short, Mason Versaw, Paris Jackson, Margaret Cho, Fortune Feimster, Rebecca Henderson, Tate Hanyok, Hayden Szeto and Artemis Pebdani. The film was produced by Jeremy Garelick, Will Phelps and Ryan Bennett for American High, Mark Fasano and Tobias Weymar for Nickel City, Kendrick Tan for Lit Entertainment, and Michael Glassman for LD Entertainment. Talia Osteen directed the feature, which was penned by Tate Hanyock, who also executive produced the project. Sex Appeal is notably the fifth Hulu Original film from American High following Big Time Adolescence, The Binge, The Ultimate Playlist Of Noise and Plan B.
