This is the first season to not feature Damon Gupton as Billy Henderson. In January 2020, Gupton revealed that Henderson was not in the plans for the fourth season and that the third season would be his last as a series regular.

This led to the fifth episode to have her character recast to Laura Kariuki. McClain, however, returned for the finale.
In November 2020, Chantal Thuy, who portrays Grace Choi, was promoted to a series regular for the fourth season.
