It's pretty fitting that time-loop movies are becoming a bit cyclical in pop culture of late. We've seen more-than-our-fair-share of films — as well as shows — in this repetitive genre, many of which are often coping Groundhog Day's formula, and there's a good chance that we'll see even more copycats in the near future. Thankfully, several of these most recent examples are quite a bit of good fun, making the most of their premise. They're a fun time if you're looking for something that's both unique and, yes, familiar.

Some recent examples include, but most certainly don't limit to, Source Code, Looper, Edge of Tomorrow, About Time, Before I Fall, Happy Death Day, Happy Death Day 2U, The Final Girls, Naked, Russian Doll, The Endless, Palm Springs, and the upcoming Boss Level, to name only a select few. Now, we've also got The Map of Tiny Perfect Things to add to the cycle. Nevertheless, while we've seen a number of projects tackle this well-trotted narrative territory, Amazon Prime's newest teen dramedy is considered a fine new addition to the popular genre, most notably thanks to the charming lead performances from Kathryn Newton and Kyle Allen.

In a cast filled with proven talents and relative unknowns, there's a chance that you recognize a number of faces seen throughout The Map of Tiny Perfect Things. You might be wondering where you recognize these talents from, while also being curious to know what other projects you can seek out to get better acquainted with these newfound talents. If that's the case, we're here to help. Here's where you recognize Amazon Prime's The Map of Tiny Perfect Things cast, which also includes Josh Hamilton, Jorja Fox, and Al Madrigal.
