Also cast in the pilot are Alexander Calvert as Thomas The Cat King; Briana Cuoco as Jenny, "a mildly punk butcher and a confidant of Crystal Palace"; Jenn Lyon as Esther, "a witch obsessed with youth and immortality"; Yuyu Kitamura as Niko, "a boarding school student intent on joining the Dead Boy Detectives agency who now lives above Jenny's butcher shop"; and Ruth Connell as Night Nurse, "a demon that controls the flow of souls in the afterlife."
