After a tumultuous first season, where Tully and Kate were no longer on speaking terms after their 30-year friendship, the first set of season 2 episodes explored some of the other happenings taking place, such as Tully's lawsuit for dropping her talk show The Girlfriend Hour, and Kate's ex-husband Johnny's trip to Iraq.
There was a lot going on, suffice it to say, and with Tully's career up in arms, she had a few things to tackle on her way back to where she was in terms of work and relationships -- including finding her real father. And in the end, viewers finally learned about what ultimately drove Tully and Kate apart for good. This is the final season for the popular series, so in the next 7 episodes, available on April 27, we'll see if these lifelong friends reconcile and what happens with Kate's health. Here's everything you need to know about all of the new and returning cast members you'll expect to see back on Firefly Lane's final episodes.

Outside of Firefly Lane, Curtis has appeared in a number of TV series and has been working since she was young. She appeared in Shut Eye as Emma Gilbert and The Magicians ahead of Firefly Lane. Most of her other appearances have consisted of guest roles, but there's no doubt she'll be bagging more after fans see more of her in the final season of Firefly Lane.

Australian actor Ben Lawson is Johnny Ryan, who produces Tully's talk show The Girlfriend Hour. He also happens to be Kate's ex-husband, which does complicate matters.

Jason McKinnon plays Sean Mularkey, Kate's brother. In the original book, Sean didn't have much of a role, but in the Netflix series, he's Kate's older brother instead of a minor character. Sean has hid his sexuality for some time, with Tully keeping the fact that he's gay from everyone over the years. His ex-partner Richard passed away, implied from AIDS, and Sean eventually marries his pregnant girlfriend, but ends up coming out to his sister and his wife, which doesn't end well. Outside of Firefly Lane, McKinnon has appeared in TV series like A Million Little Things, Loudermilk, Family Law, and Two Sentence Horror Stories.
Ignacio Serricchio - Danny Diaz

New cast member Serrichhio is joining as the cocky sportscaster, Danny Diaz. He has some strong chemistry with Tully and is a bit softer under the smug image you see at first impression. The two argue non-stop but might be a perfect fit. The Argentina native is recognizable for his roles in the Netflix series Lost in Space, Bones, and Good Girls. He's also an alum of Girlfriend's Guide to Divorce.

Another new addition this season is India de Beaufort's character Charlotte. She starts as a quiet aspiring journalist with a crush on Johnny, but ends up becoming a serious force to be reckoned with who knows what she wants and goes after it. Sounds like she'll be giving Tully a run for her money. The British actress is recognizable for her roles in Blood and Oil, Veep and Jane By Design.
