In addition, the producers have confirmed NBC's description of the sea creatures - "space invaders from Venus, here to make life on earth sustainable for even more creatures to come" - is indeed incorrect. The creatures' origins actually remain a mystery for now. As for the casting news, Serbedzija will play Dr. Clay Ling, described in the casting notice as: "40s-mid 50s, Asian, East Indians or Pakistanis. He's a weathered, likeable Asian man, a Noble Prize winning scientist who is called in to evaluate the damage to a stranded nuclear sub whose crew has apparently vanished without a trace. From indications at the scene, Ling begins to believe that the sub was the victim, not of an enemy power, but of a bizarre sea creature of enormous size and strength. Later, he debriefs Daughtery [Lake Bell] after her terrifying encounter with the creature, making it clear that Daughtery has no choice but to cooperate with the government's investigation into the case." Meester then is set as Savannah, who's detailed as: "17. Miles's [a boy who discovers one of the sea creatures] puritanical older sister. She castigates her brother for getting into trouble, yet again, for his offbeat shenanigans. She's a bit hard on Miles, but she has a droll sense of humor that offsets her biting words."

Rosie's high strung mother, Helen is married to frank. Donny and Joy are her son and adopted daughter. Helen is the family's chatterbox, and she can't stop commenting on everything going on around her, even when she should.
