Main Cast

 * Rosario Dawson as Pony Creek, a 38-year-old housewife who began to have daughts on her life choices. As a perfectionist, she tends to fixate on order, prestige, power, or perfect appearances, while preventing her children from failing at anything.
 * Mahershala Ali as Travon Creek, a 40-year-old and Pony's husband. He seemed to avoid his wife and children most of the time by either staying out late either at the office, locking himself in his study to drink, or avoiding arguments with Pony.
 * Kiersey Clemons as Teagen Creek, Pony and Travon's 12-year-old daughter. She is an innocent girl whose quest is to be moral and good, which drives most of the plots of the episodes. She is usually the one who takes responsibility for the emotional well-being of the family, often assuming a parental role. Taegen later became a high achiever outside the family as a means of escaping the dysfunctional family environment, defining herself independently of her role in the dysfunctional family, currying favor with her parents and shielding herself from criticism by her father.
 * Skai Jackson as Marshmallow Creek, Pony and Travon's 3-year-old daughter. She tends to act out, throws tantrums when not getting her way, shouts, and rarely speaks any complete sentences, usually speaking in one or two word screams like "Mine!" or "Mommy!". She began to be in denial regarding the severity of the family's situation and had mixed feelings of love–hate towards her mother.

Supporting Cast

 * Anne Paquin as Arleen Gibson, Pony's closest friend since high school and the only person who understood her upbringing.
 * as William Scotch, Pony's ex-boyfriend who was still in touch with her.
