• Bryan Cranston, Jane Kaczmarek, Christopher Masterson and Justin Berfield return, while Dewey is recast with Caleb Ellsworth-Clark and new roles include Kiana Madeira, Keeley Karsten, Anthony Timpano and Vaughan Murrae.
• Release timing remains unconfirmed by Disney+, with some outlets reporting December 2025 and others indicating no date yet or early 2026.
