‘Bless This Mess’: Langston Kerman Joins As New Series Regular; Lennon Parham & David Koechner Promoted

EXCLUSIVE: Langston Kerman (South Side) is set as a new series regular opposite Dax Shepard, Lake Bell and Pam Grier on the upcoming second season of ABC comedy Bless This Mess. Additionally, Lennon Parham and David Koechner, who recurred on the first season, have been promoted to series regulars for season 2.

Created/executive produced by Bell and Elizabeth Meriwether (Single Parents, New Girl), Bless This Mess stars Bell and Shepard as a newlywed couple whose plan to ditch big-city living for a simpler life in Nebraska doesn’t go as expected. The cast includes Ed Begley Jr., JT Neal and Christina Offley.

Kerman will play Brandon, Constance’s (Grier) son who returns from the military where he was a bomb diffuser. Mike (Shepard) and Rio (Bell) assume he is going to be an intimidating high-octane man, only to discover that he’s a very kind-spirited, somewhat nerdy guy who happens to have a highly rarified skill set surrounding mechanical engineering.
