Justine Lupe

A charming and versatile actress, Justine Lupe continues to captivate audiences across the big and small screens with a dynamic roster of roles.

Lupe can most recently be seen starring opposite Kristen Bell, Adam Brody, and Timothy Simons in the first season of Erin Foster’s hit series NOBODY WANTS THIS for Netflix. A significant part of the show’s success is attributed to the stellar cast, particularly Justine’s standout performance as Morgan. Her portrayal of a hilariously over-it yet deeply relatable character has struck a chord with audiences, sparking social media buzz and countless memes. The show is currently in production on its second season with fans eagerly anticipating more. Additionally, Season One was nominated for a Critics Choice Award for Best Comedy Series, a Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series (Musical or Comedy), and was named one of AFI’s Top TV Programs of the Year.

Previously, Lupe starred in the award-winning HBO hit SUCCESSION, in which Lupe plays ‘Willa Ferreyra’, playwright and girlfriend to Connor Roy. Originally meant to be a 3-episode arc, Lupe’s ‘Willa’ was upped to series regular and continue to be a scene-stealer until the show’s conclusion in May 2023. SUCCESSION was nominated for numerous awards since its inception in 2018, including Outstanding Drama Series for the Primetime Emmy Awards and Best Drama Series for the Critics’ Choice Television Awards. Lupe also appeared in Emmy Award winning series THE MARVELOUS MRS. MAISEL as ‘Astrid Weissman’, Jewish Convert and wife of Midge Maisel’s brother, Noah.

In film, Lupe appeared in Netflix’s LUCKIEST GIRL ALIVE opposite Mila Kunis in 2022. An adaptation of Jessica Knoll’s novel of the same name, the film follows Ani FaNelli (Kunis), a sharp-tongued New Yorker who appears to have it all: a sought-after position at a glossy magazine, a killer wardrobe, and a dream Nantucket wedding on the horizon. But when the director of a crime documentary invites her to tell her side of the shocking incident that took place when she was a teenager at the prestigious Brentley School, Ani is forced to confront a dark truth that threatens to unravel her meticulously crafted life.

Additional television credits include the second season of Apple TV’s THE BIG DOOR PRIZE, which follows the residents of a small town called Deerfield who discover a magical, destiny-predicting machine in their grocery store, Stephen King & David E. Kelley series MR. MERCEDES, John Singleton’s FX drama series SNOWFALL, Darren Starr’s YOUNGER and the critically acclaimed ABC Comedy Series CRISTELA.

In film, Lupe started her career in Noah Baumbach’s film FRANCES HA, opposite Greta Gerwig and Adam Driver, and in David Chase’s NOT FADE AWAY opposite James Gandolfini and Jack Huston. In theater, she starred in the Philip Seymour Hoffman-directed family drama A FAMILY FOR ALL OCCASIONS at the Bank Street Theater and EMPATHITRAX at HERE ARTS Center.

Lupe is a graduate of the prestigious Julliard School and currently resides in Los Angeles.
