Big Mistakes Season 2 Adds Four Guest Stars as Production Wraps

By Elena Vasquez

Netflix’s Big Mistakes added four actors in guest star roles for Season 2 as production wraps: Randall Park, Debi Mazar, T.R. Knight and Jeff Perry. The new roles are Peter Lin for Park, Pam for Mazar, Reverend Crosby for Knight and Walt for Perry. The Season 2 casting announcement keeps additional character details under wraps.

The official Season 1 logline for the Netflix comedy reads:

“follows Nicky (Levy) and Morgan (Ortega), two deeply incapable siblings who are in over their heads when a misguided theft for their dying grandmother accidentally pulls them into the world of organized crime. Blackmailed into increasingly dangerous assignments, they clumsily fail upwards, sinking deeper into chaos they’re ill-equipped to handle.”

What do the four additions bring?

The casting announcement lists the newcomers’ prior credits:

• Randall Park: Fresh Off The Boat and WandaVision.
• Debi Mazar: Entourage and The Last Mrs. Parrish.
• T.R. Knight: The Flight Attendant and Grey’s Anatomy.
• Jeff Perry: Inventing Anna and Scandal.

The announcement names each part but withholds the characters’ relationships, motives, backgrounds or links to the siblings’ dangerous assignments within the organized-crime story that drives the premise. The four guest announcements join a broader cast revision that also promotes one performer to regular status and creates two recurring roles for other actors.

Season 2 adds four guest roles, with no additional character details released.

Who returns and who joins the regular cast?

The Season 2 lineup separates the previously announced cast into returning, regular and recurring groups.

• Returning: Dan Levy, Taylor Ortega, Laurie Metcalf, Jack Innanen, Boran Kuzum and Abby Quinn.
• Series regular: Elizabeth Perkins.
• Recurring: Lorenzo de Moor and Poorna Jagannathan.

Across those categories, Season 2 now names 13 performers, a count that excludes any further supporting cast not identified in the announcement at this stage. The announced lineup contains six returnees, one series regular, two recurring performers and four guest stars.

Who represents the four new actors?

The casting announcement assigns representation as follows:

• Randall Park: UTA, Artists First and Myman Greenspan.
• Debi Mazar: Curtis Brown Group, Realm Talent and Framework Entertainment.
• T.R. Knight: Buchwald and Authentic.
• Jeff Perry: Principal Entertainment LA.

Representation is split unevenly across nine named agencies, with three firms listed for Park, three for Mazar, two for Knight and one for Perry in the casting announcement. The four newcomers collectively list nine agency affiliations across nine named firms.

Who creates and directs Big Mistakes?

Dan Levy created the series, stars as Nicky, and serves as executive producer and showrunner, while Rachel Sennott co-created it and also executive produces for the comedy. Anne-Marie McGintee executive produces for Not a Real Production Company.

Jacqui Rivera and Timothy Greenberg also serve as executive producers. Dean Holland and Iain MacDonald serve as executive producers and direct four episodes each.

The announced Season 2 structure is fixed for now, but the roles of its four newest characters remain the clearest outstanding question for the finished production.
