- Mangini will play Sam, Michael's (Posey) younger brother, whose high level of literacy is matched by an equally high level of snark. He seems to be the only one not enchanted by Santa Carla - a sentiment he shares with a pair of local girls, the Frog Sisters (Cheyenne Haynes and Haley Tju).
- Zamora will play Frank Garcia, Lucy's (Sanchez) father, a cantankerous old hippie who owns a beloved local bed and breakfast. In spite of his laid-back appearance, he's a strict disciplinarian who probably knows more about the dark side of town than he cares to tell.

He seeks that something and/or someone to give him a much necessitated kick in the ass, and that beacon of hope is about to arrive.
- Heelan will play Kate, the entrepreneurial co-owner of the city's coolest pierogi shop.
