Bad Thoughts is Tom Segura’s Netflix sketch-comedy series, not a conventional ensemble drama with one continuing character for each cast member. Netflix’s official season pages name performers and outline the sketches, but do not provide a complete actor-to-character guide. Here is the verified cast by season, followed by Netflix’s six Season 1 episode hooks.
How to read the cast lists
The series brings together separate, cinematic comic situations. Netflix Media Center describes it as a six-episode series in which Segura “navigates unthinkable situations and fantasies within a cinematic world.” Netflix Media Center and Netflix’s series listing identify it as sketch comedy; the listing’s description of the stories as “hilariously disturbing” is promotional language.
Netflix Tudum’s season-specific cast lists are the broadest official performer lists available here. The Netflix title page shows a shorter cast list for Season 1. Neither source assigns every performer to a named character or individual sketch, so cast membership alone cannot establish who plays whom.
Season 1 cast
Netflix Tudum lists these Season 1 performers: Tom Segura, Robert Iler, Daniella Pineda, Shea Whigham, Dan Stevens, Jimmy Kimmel, Rachel Bloom, Bobby Lee, Arturo Castro, Kirk Fox, Christina Pazsitzky, Alexis Abrams, Alexandra Chando, Malin Barr, Arnold Chun, Nic Novicki, Johnny Pemberton, Annie Abbott, Ryan Sickler, Hannah Bittick, John Gholson, Kirsten Kendall, Alexandra Broussard, Billie D. Merritt, Jenn Covington, and Sarah Burns.

The shorter display is not a replacement for Tudum’s broader season-specific list.
Season 2 cast
Netflix Tudum’s May 25, 2026 article lists the following Season 2 performers and says the season is available to stream: Odette Annable, Tim Baltz, Maria Bamford, Allegra Edwards, John Ennis, Alex English, Kirk Fox, Brian Huskey, Carla Jimenez, Martha Kelly, Floriana Lima, Mike Mitchell, Kevin Nealon, Christina Pazsitzky, Johnny Pemberton, Busy Philipps, Frankie Quinones, Ryan Sickler, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Lily Sullivan, Brooks Wheelan, and Luke Wilson. Availability and catalog details can vary by region and change over time, so check the local Netflix listing.
Rank #2
Kirk Fox, Christina Pazsitzky, Johnny Pemberton, and Ryan Sickler appear on both Tudum season lists. That overlap confirms performer membership in both lists, not that they reprise the same roles.
Season 1 episodes and premise hooks
Netflix lists six short-form Season 1 episodes, with runtimes from 17 to 22 minutes. Its descriptions are brief premise hooks, not full synopses, and do not identify the actors in each vignette.
| Episode | Runtime | Netflix’s premise hook |
|---|---|---|
| “Jobs” | 17 minutes | An assassin breaks his own rules; a man takes serving the elderly to an extreme; and an IT worker is described as being too hard at work. |
| “Success” | 22 minutes | An apocalyptic evacuation, a chaotic behind-the-scenes day with an action icon, and a country star’s disastrous jam session. |
| “Family” | 22 minutes | A singer finds inspiration for a comeback, a school play surprises parents, and sisters share an unforgettable night. |
| “Love” | 17 minutes | A French love affair takes a turn, a woman’s last wish surprises her husband, and a routine flight becomes frightening. |
| “Communication” | 19 minutes | An emergency landing becomes a miscommunication crisis, a video game returns, and a coffee order becomes inescapable. |
| “Health” | 17 minutes | An offensive remark disrupts a work event, and a man tries a new gym. |
These episode titles, runtimes, and short descriptions are on Netflix’s listing. The available official descriptions do not name the characters or connect specific cast members to each sketch.

Segura plays various characters across the series’ situations, according to Tudum’s description of the show. The official pages cited here do not supply a complete character roster, named roles, or an episode-by-episode performer map. That means a reliable guide can identify the season ensembles and summarize Netflix’s episode hooks, but should not present guessed character names or role assignments as fact.
