Premise

A famous pop music group called "Electric Bloom" consists of Posey Parker, Jade Castillo, and Tulip Aoki where they named their group over the fact that they have flower-based names. Electric Bloom reflects on their story on how they became the biggest band in the world on their "Ask Us Anything" livestream, starting from the day they met in 9th grade at Edison County High School and became a school band.

Cast

Main

  • Lumi Pollack as Posey Parker, the Jewish-American lead vocalist and guitarist of Electric Bloom. Her full name is Posey Penelope Parker as revealed in the first episode "How It Started." Posey is a driven and disciplined student, who thrives on schedules and rules. She is also kind, obedient, and is at times prone to anxiety. Her wardrobe consists mostly of blouses and vests, skirts, Mary Janes, and ruffled socks. In the present day segment, Posey's hair is longer and partially pulled into a high ponytail. The episode "How We Defeated a Jingle Bell Bully" reveals that Posey celebrates Hannukah as she greeted the "Ask Us Anything" viewers by quoting "Happy Hannukah".
  • Carmen Sanchez as Jade Castillo, the Mexican-American keyboardist of Electric Bloom. Jade is rebellious and loud but kindhearted. In the episode "How We Found Howie," it is revealed that she lost her Abuelo Howie and was still hurting from it. Her wardrobe is very '90s-inspired and tomboyish while sporting shoulder length wavy red hair. In the present day segment, Jade's red hair is long and perfectly straight and she goes more glamorous with makeup and lots of sparkles.
  • Ruby Marino as Tulip Aoki, the Japanese-American DJ of Electric Bloom and the tallest of the group who was originally home-schooled until she started attending Edison County High School. Everything about public school was new and exciting to Tulip. She is quirky, eclectic, offbeat and funny. Most of her wardrobe is filled with color, patterns, and themes, usually with a subtle or overt nod to flowers while her black hair is either down or in two braids. In the present day segment, Tulip takes on a more typical Japanese look with baby pink space buns and bangs, eye gems, and flared jumper over an off-shoulder blouse. Her full name is Tulip Juniper Aoki as revealed in the episode "How We Defeated a Jingle Bell Bully" and had a history with Shelly LeBrock's cousin Michelley.
  • Nathaniel Buescher as Lucas Jasper, a friend and supporter of Electric Bloom that the girls like. Lucas is often referred to by his first and last name. He is highly easygoing, a little oblivious, and behaves as a typical cool high school guy. Lucas also is revealed to babysit a young girl named Greta who adores Electric Bloom. Lucas normally wears hoodies, T-shirts, and khakis, and has golden tipped curly hair. The end of the episode "How We Got Crushed" revealed that the present day Lucas is dating one of the Electric Bloom members. The two-part season finale would reveal that it was Posey after an assortment of misunderstandings.

Recurring
