Smart, uncensored and very funny, she's an up-and-coming writer with a new book of essays that's getting serious traction. Though Naomi would say anything to anyone, there are very few people she truly lets in. A fiercely loyal friend, she would go to the end of Earth for the people she loves.

- Dennison will play Jenny, Carol's (Heaton) big-hearted daughter who became a pharmaceutical rep because, as a pretty and charming young woman, it's an easy job. She loves and is supportive of Carol, and her practical and outgoing demeanor is a buoyant counterpoint to Carol's neurotic medical colleagues.
- Aghayere will play Maya, the Chief Resident in charge of Carol and the other three interns. A type-A, high achieving disciplinarian, she is all business. She's instantly annoyed because Carol is a chatty maverick who hates authority - and Maya and her authority are not up for debate.

She was a young heiress, who turned her modeling career into a fashion empire and now is making the jump into acting. She has all the qualities you'd expect to find in an international superstar: She's fickle, guarded, entitled - but underneath all that, there is a real warmth to her. She's a woman with a lot of love to give but no real idea how to do that.

She also starred in TNT's The Librarians film franchise and recurred on its series continuation.
- She will play Sandy, Bill's extremely judgmental mother who went through a health scare two years ago. Bill and Jo did the right thing and took her in, then she miraculously recovered and never left. She doesn't understand the challenges of modern parenting, yet she weighs in on everything that Bill and Jo do to let them know it's wrong. The only thing that's great for Bill is that Sandy will criticize Jo in a way he agrees with but is too scared to admit. On the other hand, Sandy will criticize Bill in a way Jo agrees with, and that sucks for Bill.

Leal's guest credits include TNT's The Last Ship, FOX's Rosewood, USA's Shooter and AMC's Better Call Saul.

He has a lot to learn when it comes to raising a teenage girl, but he gets plenty of help from Sarah along the way.
- Slavin will play Eugene, a resident of this small New Hampshire town and a brilliant, bizarre librarian. His hummingbird energy and encyclopedic knowledge of sociopolitical minutiae make him an invaluable asset to Sarah and her team as the brand new government of Morrisville gets up and running.
