Here's Where You Might Know Jake McDorman and the Rest of the "Mrs. Davis" Cast From

There's a lot going on in "Mrs. Davis." The show centers on a nun (Betty Gilpin) who is determined to destroy an all-powerful artificial intelligence — though in order to do so, she has to complete a seemingly impossible quest. Along the way, she encounters everything from belligerent whales to ex-lovers to the actual Pope, while also facing off against her mother and dealing with her complicated childhood. It's a sci-fi epic that blurs the line between religion, technology, comedy, and drama, with a lot of chaotic action sequences to boot.

If that weren't enough to follow, you may also be distracted by pinpointing where you recognize some of the cast of "Mrs. Davis" from. In fact, many of the cast members have appeared on extremely popular and beloved shows over the years, from Tom Wlaschiha — who's appeared on both "Game of Thrones" and "Stranger Things" — to Jake McDorman, whose resume includes stints on "Limitless," "Greek," and "Aquamarine."

Ahead of the show's April 20 premiere on Peacock, here's an overview of what the cast starred in before they entered the wild world of "Mrs. Davis."
