Posted by on
  The upcoming Paramount+ drama series Happy Face has found all of its series regulars and jonesed for its recurring talk show host and Melissa’s boss. The final series regulars found are  Khiyla Aynne   and Benjamin Mackey, while Supergirl alum David Harewood is racking in the ratings. As one could surmise, Aynne and Mackey play Melissa (played by Annaleigh Ashford )’s kids with husband Ben, played by James Wolk . Specifically, Aynne  plays Hazel, their  secure and happy  15-year-old daughter who initially believes that her mother is off on a simple business trip. However,  she soon starts suspecting that something dire is going on, beginning to investigate and uncover the shocking circumstances of her mother’s past.  Mackey plays  lively   9-year-old Max, who takes his stable upbringing for granted and doesn’t grow his older sister’s suspicions regarding mom’s sudden absence. He instead steadfastly believes she’s producing some sort of on-location segment for  The Dr. Greg Show . A

Joaquina Kalukango, Lonnie Chavis, Rob Morgan, Ryan O’Nan and Justin Hurtt-Dunkley have been cast in key recurring roles in the upcoming Bass Reeves series from Taylor Sheridan.

The news of these castings comes as the series for Paramount+ about the legendary lawman considered American history's greatest frontier hero also welcomed Shea Whigham and Garrett Hedlund in recurring roles as well this week. It stars executive producer David Oyelowo, with Lauren E. Banks, Forrest Goodluck, Demi Singleton and Barry Pepper. Dennis Quaid and Chris Grantham will also be recurring.

Kalukango has a decade of experience in theater. In their move to the small screen, their most extensive TV work is four episodes of Lovecraft Country. She will play Esme, a former enslaved woman who is "as good as family with the Reeves’ and also has some different ideas about the future". Chavis is best known for playing young Randall Pearson on This Is Us, but has also appeared on series such as Supergirl and The Thundermans. He will play Arthur Mayberry, a boy infatuated with Reeves’ daughter Sally. Morgan, who also appeared on This Is Us as Councilman Sol Brown and as Turk Barrett in every MCU Netflix series will play Ramsey, a once-strong man who has become rather disillusioned. He also played Magic Johnson's father, Earvin Sr., in HBO's Winning Time. 

O’Nan, who played King George on Queen of the South and currently recurs on ABC's Big Sky, will play Darrell Dolliver, one of the two Dolliver outlaws Bass must find and turn in. Hurtt-Dunkley, who has appeared in Mare of Easttown, will play Ike, a deputy U.S. marshal.
