, the semi-autobiographical dramedy from Ramy Youssef, just released its third season on Hulu Friday, and similarly to the last, it's chock full of guests stars.

In addition to the show's series regulars,  sees the likes of Majid Jordan, Sarita Choudhury and Bella Hadid joining the cast for the show's long-awaited third season.The supermodel makes her acting debut in episode 4, which is aptly titled, «that's what she said.» Hadid, who has been outspoken about her Palestinian heritage, and her ties to Islamic culture, appears as Lena, the quirky, Muslim girlfriend of Steve (Steve Way), Ramy's best friend.As viewers remember from previous seasons, Steve suffers from muscular dystrophy and is wheelchair-bound.

Ramy goes to dinner with Steve and Lena, not just because he's their ride to a wrestling match later, but because this is his first time meeting Steve's significant other after the COVID-19 pandemic forced them to spend some time apart.The match instantly perplexes Ramy.

While her beauty is still very much present, Hadid is very much the anti-supermodel in this role — no perfectly coiffed hair or on-trend outfit, instead, she's quite aloof, nervously tearing up small pieces of bread, and not for Steve, who struggles to eat on his own, but for herself, with Steve confirming that she too likes to take «small bites.»The pair have their own rapport, cracking «that's what she said» jokes — a nod to  -- back and forth to Ramy's disbelief.
