- Sean Kaufman (The Summer I Turned Pretty, For All Mankind) will play Holden, an extremely shy college football player with a crush on Sally (Georgie Murphy).


- Alfredo Narciso (The Summer I Turned Pretty, Manifest) will play Krystal’s (Anissa Borrego) dad. Much like Krystal’s mother (Dascha Polanco), he serves as part manager and part CEO of Krystal Enterprises.
