Purdy has recurred on Netflix's Orange Is the New Black, Disney+'s WandaVision and HBO's The White Lotus.
- Serricchio will play the series regular role of Danny Diaz, a cocky sportscaster turned reporter who has crackling chemistry with Tully (Katherine Heigl). He's brash, ambitious and sexy. He and Tully continually trade barbs, but beneath his smug façade lies real vulnerability and passion.
- Germann will recur as Benedict Binswanger, the scion of an influential logging family. He parlays his success in business into a run for Governor of Washington state in the 1980s. His outward confidence belies a deep concern for both his own and his family's reputations - and he is determined to preserve the Binswanger legacy by making sure a long-held secret stays buried.
- De Beaufort will recur as Charlotte, a quiet and reserved aspiring journalist in 1985 Seattle with a hopeless crush on Johnny Ryan (Ben Lawson). Over the years, she grows into a world-renowned, confident and sophisticated reporter - a woman who knows what she wants, and isn't afraid to go after it.
- Purdy will recur as Justine Jordan, a sunny, upbeat talent agent with a knack for keeping a positive demeanor even when delivering devastating news. She's always got a plan, and is ready to execute it. An up and coming power player in the world of entertainment, she is no nonsense but always charming, the kind of person everyone wants in their corner - including Tully.

He is Ren's (Janina Gavankar) brother. While they are both formidable opponents, Jag has a particular method of restoring his family's power that clashes with Ren's way of doing things - Jag is as thorough in rooting out the rot as he is merciless.

- O'Nan will play Donno, a bodyguard with ties to a notorious crime family. Though a menacing killer of few words, he's also his boss' subservient, frequently berated underling.
- Malarkey will play Deputy Harvey, a pompous, self-assured cop. Despite preaching respect for the law, he sells his loyalty to the highest bidder. A man who wears the badge to protect and serve himself. When Harvey gets into hot water with a criminal organization, he becomes increasingly desperate and unhinged.
- Meunier will play Dietrich, the leader of a local crew of drug dealers who will go to war with their supplies when a large shipment they paid for never turns up.
