Hulu's upcoming comedy series, This Fool, is ready to premiere on August 12, 2022. Written by and starring Chris Estrada, the show is all set to follow events inspired by the popular comedian's life while also exploring the ups and downs of working-class South Central Los Angeles life. The show's debut season will consist of ten episodes in total.

This Fool will follow 30-year-old Julio Lopez (played by Estrada himself), who still lives at his parents' place, dates the same girl from high school, and finds excuses to deal with his problem. This stuck-up, not-so-young man works at a gang rehabilitation nonprofit with his older cousin Luis (Frankie Quinones), an ex-gang member just out of prison. The show is executive produced by Estrada, Matt Ingebretson, Pat Bishop, Fred Armisen, and Jonathan Groff.

It also has some talented cast members like Frankie Quinones and Michelle Ortiz. Read on to find out about the full cast of This Fool ahead of its premiere later this week.


Chris Estrada as Julio Lopez

Chris Estrada is the protagonist of the show. He plays the role of the 30-year-old stuck-up nonprofit worker who refuses to move ahead in life. Things are further complicated when his cousin, Luis, moves in with him after getting out of prison.

Chris Estrada is a prolific standup comedian and writer who has been named one of the ''2018 Time Out LA Top 10 Comics to Watch.'' He has previously co-created Hulu's Punk Ass Bitch, and has been a part of multiple great stand-up routines.

This Fool will be Estrada's scripted television debut.

Frankie Quinones as Luis

Frankie Quinones will play the role of Julio's cousin, Luis, a fresh-out-of-prison convict. Julio will be assigned to his case in the non-profit, where the workers try to keep ex-convicts away from gangs and crime, making him one of the most interesting characters in the show.

Frankie Quinones has previously appeared in El Chicano (2018), Bound by Debt (2018), and Dress up Gang (2019).
