CBS ALL ACCESS' THE HARPER HOUSE
- Rhea Seehorn, Jason Lee, Tatiana Maslany, Ryan Flynn, VyVy Nguyen, Lance Krall, Roberta Colindrez, Tessa Skara, John "Spud" McConnell, Chris Diamantopoulos, Joanna Hausmann, Gabourey Sidibe, Nyima Funk and Gary Anthony Williams will lead the voice cast of the upcoming animated comedy created by Brad Neely.
- Seehorn (Better Call Saul) will play Debbie Harper, the breadwinner of the Harper household, who takes pride in being the queen of her home.
- Lee (My Name Is Earl) will play Freddie Harper, a fretful, stay-at-home, helicopter dad. A neurotic control freak, he runs the home while his wife makes the money, and he wouldn't have it any other way.
- Maslany (Orphan Black) will play Ollie Harper, the extroverted, free-spirited daughter. Recklessly optimistic and pretty gullible, she usually has a completely different takeaway than her two brother, Todd.
- Flynn (Stupidface) will play Todd Harper, the smart-ass, intellectual son with a mean potty mouth. Where Ollie shines with people, Todd excels at school and generally only gets along with his family.
- Nguyen (Young Sheldon) will play Gwen Dang, the owner of the Vietnamese market and cafe that the Harpers frequent.
- Krall (Fameless) will play JimJoe Dang, Gwen's son, who attends school with the Harper children.
- Colindrez (Vida) will play Tonya Acosta, a carefree yet supportive friend of Debbie's.
- Skara (The Calling) will play Brenna, Debbie's perky Southern Belle sister.
- McConnell (Hap and Leonard) will play Daddie Dan, Debbie's loving father.
- Diamantopoulos (Silicon Valley) will play Dr. Morocco, the principal at the Harper children's school who exhibits a mysterious and odd demeanor that may lead one to believe he lives a potentially criminal private life.
- Hausmann (Bill Nye Saves the World) will play Ms. Gonzalez, a teacher at the Harper children's school who is fresh out of grad school and eager to employ all of her new teaching methods.
- Sidibe (Empire) will play Shauna Bradley, Ollie and Todd's cunning and resourceful classmate whose family lives across the street from the Harper House. Her confidence and savvy can even be intimidating to the adults in her life.
- Funk (Key and Peele) will play Katrina Bradley, the sarcastic co-owner of Bradleys' Bookshop. Constantly bewildered by her new neighbors, she grows to accept the Harpers and their unique contributions to the north side of town.
- Williams (I'm Sorry) will play Gbenge Bradley, the proud patriarch of the Bradley family, who eventually warms to the Harper family and Freddie's increasingly desperate attempts to be his friend.
FOX's THE RESIDENT
- Conrad Ricamora has landed a recurring role on the drama's upcoming fourth season. He appeared in all six seasons of ABC's How to Get Away With Murder - two as a recurring guest star and four as a series regular.
- He will play Dr. Jake Wong, a handsome gay plastic surgeon and amateur singer-songwriter in his off hours. He used to be Dr. Bell's (Bruce Greenwood) stepson half a lifetime ago, but their relationship ended bitterly when Bell divorced his mother.
NETFLIX's YOU
- Travis Van Winkle and Shalita Grant have booked series regular roles on the drama's upcoming third season. Van Winkle starred for five seasons in TNT's The Last Ship. He has also recurred on The CW's Hart of Dixie and CBS' Instinct. Grant starred for four seasons in CBS' NCIS: New Orleans. She has also recurred on Netflix's Santa Clarita Diet and HBO Max's Search Party.
- Van Winkle will play Cary, a wealthy, charismatic and self-proclaimed "Master of Self-Optimization" who runs his own supplement company. He invites Joe (Penn Badgley) into his inner circle.
- Grant will play Sherry, a locally famous "Momfluencer" who is warm and down to earth, but that's just a put-upon act for her social media followers. The original "mean girl," she's threatened by Love (Victoria Pedretti) and only pretends to welcome her into her wealthy and elitist social circle. But underneath her insecurity, there's a pragmatic, loyal person who could turn out to be a true friend.
