Also returning for the new season are key cast members Nathan Dales as Daryl, K. Trevor Wilson as Squirrelly Dan, Dylan Playfair as Reilly, Andrew Herr as Jonesy, and Tyler Johnston as Stewart. They will be joined by Lisa Codrington as Gail, Tyler Hynes as Dierks, Clark Backo as Rosie, and Kaniehtiio Horn as Tanis.
