Premise

The show follows a modern-day blended family as they navigate life's ups and downs with wit and humor. It centers on Dr. Carla Reed, a busy psychologist, wife and mom struggling to balance her job and her happy but chaotic home life.

Cast

Tracee Ellis Ross as Dr. Carla Reed (Season 1) - Highly successful psychologist who works hard to balance her family and career. She grew up in a solid, middle-class family that valued stability and education. But her perfect world fell apart while she was in college at Howard University; it was then that she found out her father had a secret family. Recently, she has left the kids in Alex's care and relocates to Los Angeles in efforts to pursue her dream job.
Malcolm-Jamal Warner as Dr. Alex Reed - English professor at NYU, specializing in twentieth-century American literature. Alex is also a neat freak who loves sports, cooking and fine wines. Born and raised in Newark, New Jersey, he was the first of his blue-collar family to go to college, which is an accomplishment he doesn't take for granted.
Nadji A. Jeter as Keenan Reynolds - He is Kaci's fraternal twin and older by two minutes, a fact that he loves to rub in her face. Like most teenage boys, Keenan likes video games, music and hanging out with his friends. But most of all, he likes to push Kaci's buttons and tease Alexis.
Zoë Soul as Kaci Reynolds - Typical teenage girl: she loves boys, and talking with her friends— She's also an excellent natural athlete who participates in a number of school activities. She is super-sensitive, emotional and overly dramatic. She's intensely interested in environmental causes. She makes sure Carla and Alex keep their home "green", and is frequently outraged by her family's increasing carbon footprint and wasting resources. She also hates "family time" or anything that involves Keenan. Even though they're close, she competes with him all the time. She knows he purposely tries to get her riled up but, for some reason, she can't ignore him.

Anna Maria Horsford as Ms. Helen Wilson (Season 1; guest in season 2)
