Justine Lupe is enjoying a well-deserved moment in the spotlight thanks to her new series Nobody Wants This, in which she co-stars with Kristen Bell. The actress, best known for her role as Willa on Succession, described working with Bell as “a dream,” praising her for being both humorous and emotionally caring on set.

Lupe reflected on her Succession days, admitting that her audition for the hit HBO series was nerve-racking. “I thought I completely blew it,” she said, chuckling. “I walked out convinced I’d never hear from them again — and then I got the call.” That experience, she claims, altered her life and led to the jobs she is presently taking on.

Lupe looked stunning on the red carpet at the recent Emmys, wearing a sleek, minimalist gown that received a lot of acclaim. “I wanted something timeless but easy to move in,” she explained, emphasizing that comfort and confidence were her top priorities.

Justine Lupe’s versatility extends from incisive sarcasm to emotional comedy, and efforts like Nobody Wants This show that she is only getting started.
