Edebiri started her professional career in standup comedy, and her foundation of writing and comedic wit helped launch the digital web series “Ayo and Rachel Are Single,” which she developed and costarred in with friend and NYU classmate Rachel Sennott (“The Idol”). In 2020, she helped write episodes of Netflix’s “Big Mouth,” and she later joined the cast to voice the role of Missy. Her role as the soft-spoken, shy nerd opened her up to a number of opportunities, including the animated “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem,” currently in theaters, and the upcoming Marvel film “Thunderbolts.”

Regarding her recent exposure and lineup of future acting gigs, Edebiri revealed to Rolling Stone in a 2023 interview, “Life is wonderful and sometimes unexpected things happen, but it’s all learning opportunities. It’s beautiful to go through hard things when you have wonderful people in your life. It’s great to be lucky enough to learn lessons. And I haven’t narrativized it yet, but I can feel myself learning. I’m excited to be at the point where I’m looking back 10 years later…If the Earth isn’t, like, completely flooded by then.”
