[25] On February 19 Liam James was cast in the key role of the young son who was presumed dead.

[27] On February 25, it was announced that three-time Oscar nominee Joan Allen will play the leading role of mayor and Warren family matriarch.

Reception

Critical response

The Family has received mixed reviews from critics. On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 61% of 33 critics' reviews are positive. The website's consensus reads, "The Family takes a confusing, convoluted course to solve its central mystery that few will want to follow, despite a game performance from Joan Allen." [37] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 58 out of 100, based on 22 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews". [38]

The performances of McCarthy, Pill, and Allen were praised by critics. Stacey Ritzen of Uproxx wrote that "the cast all bring their A game, particularly Allen as the ball-busting matriarch and McCarthy, who lends genuine creepiness and dread to the role." [39] Dominic Patten of Deadline Hollywood praised Allen's and Pill's performances, and wrote that Pill "delivers a rooted multi-level performance that is pretty big league unto itself". [40] Ellen Gray of Philadelphia Daily News praised McCarthy's performance, writing that "while we're waiting to be further mystified, there's plenty to see, including McCarthy's scene-stealing performance as a character who might be as misunderstood as Boo Radley, or might truly be the bogeyman of our worst nightmares." [41]

Other critics slammed the writing and casting. Tim Goodman of The Hollywood Reporter called the show, "Poorly written and completely ridiculous." [42] Jeff Jensen of Entertainment Weekly gave it a C−, summarizing it as a "sour, formulaic expression of ABC's penchant for buzzy, 'sticky' potboilers." He wrote that the show delivered a "shallow treatment of material that deserves more maturity, more empathy, more savvy about American culture. It shows capacity for interesting ideas but has only meager, cliché imagination for them." [43]
