Netflix's new release 'Kissing Game', originally titled 'Boca a Boca', comes to the streaming service with an exciting first season. While living in a pandemic ourselves, this series may hit a few nerves as a school in a rural town deals with a virus transmitted and spread by mouth. The trailer, a dark one at that, showcases the panic and the symptoms of being part of a world where the disease is spreading quickly. This is a Brazillian thriller and so the cast isn't easily recognizable. With IMDb missing the cast section for this release, here are the three main actors that Netflix revealed are acting in the thrilling narrative. 

Caio Horowicz

Horowicz is a young actor who has almost a dozen productions to his name. He is known for his recent roles such as Felipe in 'Music for Bleeding Hearts', originally titled 'Música para Morrer de Amor' (2019), and Marcello Camargo Capuano in 'Hebe: The Brazilian Star' (2019). His earlier roles included JM in 'Califórnia' (2015), César in 'Florianópolis Dream' (2018), Felipe in 'Love Snaps' (2018) and Coiote 'The Tower' (2019).

Michel Joelsas

Joelsas seems to have started working at quite a young age with his roles such as Mauro in 'The Year My Parents Went on Vacation' (2006) and Chico in 'Ópera do Mallandro' (2007). He is most recently known for his roles such as Fabinho in 'The Second Mother', originally titled 'Que Horas Ela Volta?' (2015), Dime (Pedro Nabuco) in 'Rotas do Ódio' (2018) and Luiz in 'Ardentia' (2019).

Iza Moreira

The third main character of the cast is Iza Moreira, who according to the actress' Instagram page, is part of Ford Models Brazil. You can see all three of the actors in this sweet post shared by Moreira on social media. While there is not much on the actress on IMDb, it seems her modeling career is taking off fabulously. She is also an influencer on Instagram boasting over 3,000 followers.

The official synopsis under the released trailer reads as such when translated from Portuguese, "After a party, a girl wakes up the next day with a slightly different hangover. She was infected with a virus transmitted through the mouth. In addition to the common dramas for their age, teenagers in a rural city live with the panic of the virus and the fear that its secrets will be discovered." Watch the trailer below.
