Michael Rapaport plays his father, Doug, who longs to build a closer relationship with Sam. Brigette Lundy-Paine plays Sam's scrappy sister, Casey, and Amy Okuda plays his therapist, Julia.

Premiering with eight episodes on August 11, Atypical was created and written by Robia Rashid (How I Met Your Mother).
