cars to select customers in 2024.

The Stars of Netflix's 'Desperados' Have Played a Couple Before!

Nasim Pedrad and Lamorne Morris are starring in the new Netflix movie Desperados and this isn’t the first time that they have worked together!

The two actors actually played a couple on the Fox series New Girl and their characters ended up together in the end. The new movie marks a reunion for the stars, so this is a must-watch for fans of the show.

In Desperados, a panicked young woman (Pedrad) and her two best friends (Anna Camp and Sarah Burns) fly to Mexico to delete a ranting email she sent to her new boyfriend (Robbie Amell). On arrival, they run into her former beau (Morris), who soon gets caught up in their frantic scheme.

“When I found out that Lamorne might be able to do it, it was such a no-brainer. There is truly no one better to work with. I have so much fun with him and I would do anything with him,” Nasim said in an interview with Manny the Movie Guy.

The movie is now streaming on Netflix!
