Meet the young cast of Netflix series Dash and Lily and where you recognise them from

The festive series was released today


Netflix has just released a new teen festive series, Dash and Lily. The show sees the two main cast members who you guessed it, are called Dash and Lily, go on a mystery tour around New York to find one another when Lily places a cryptic notepad of clues in their local library.

It’s the perfect mix of trashy festive cheer and rom-com cheesiness which we all need around this time of year. Here is the cast of Dash and Lily, and where you may have seen all their faces before.

Dash is played by Austin Abrams. Dash, who famously hates the festive season, goes on his mystery mission to track down Lily when she leaves her notepad full of clues in the library. You might recognise him from The Walking Dead, Paper Towns, This Is Us, Euphoria or Chemical Hearts. Fun fact: In real life, Austin Abrams loves Christmas.
