Sharon Horgan as Ashley Brennan Parker - Isabelle, Nicola and Vera Parker’s auburn-haired mum, who died fighting agri-loggers after they got shipwrecked into somewhere near the city of Pointe Noire. Both were in their mid 30s when they died after birthing 3 daughters. 

Pádraic Delaney as James Parker - the funny professor uncle of Vera Parker, who happens to be a firm headed animal lover.  

Louisa Harland as Isabelle Parker - Vera Jane’s nerdy brunette middle sister, who’s not quite a fashion fan and who rather prefers to read books instead.

Danielle Galligan as Nicola Parker - Vera Parker’s oldest sister who happens to be an investigator in a land where piracy happens more often.

Lisa Dwan as Robin Doyle (minor) - After days of sailing through dangerous seas, Robin got shipwrecked into the Mayombe rainforest with her husband. She was kidnapped by the Sea Mangani chieftain but escaped and reunited with her husband and nephew after a few days. 

Former Abductees

Stella Reid As Liz (recurring) - From an expedition gone horribly wrong, a castaway named Liz got shipwrecked into the Mayombe jungle along with the similarly aged friends Brad and Erik. 

Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Maryanne Hobbes (guest) - Brad’s mother, herself kidnapped by a Sea Mangani who otherwise isn’t the chieftain.

Jason David as Erik Brunel - Erik is one of the shipwrecked kids.

Brenna D’Amico as Diana Brent - Schoolteacher Diana Brent had been abducted for a year along with her students. 

The Reeds and their friends

Honor Kneafsey as Linda Reed - Linda Reed is a firm but loveably quirky buddy/girlfriend’s straight woman of Tarzan, who happens to teach him about newer but equally difficult topics. Still, to be fair for her, Kala was a much better teacher to Tarzan than Linda Reed herself. 

Caitlin Blackwood as Nell McKnight - Nell is Linda Reed’s friend and guide, who help each other survive the jungle on a somewhat regularly basis. 

Jane Levy as Olivia Greenly -

Rose Ayling Ellis as Sue Ellen Jones - Linda’s fellow bookworm friend. 

The Rowley Fam 

Mateo Taylor as Ian Rowley (recurring) - Liz and Robin met fellow shipwreck survivor Ian, who lived in the treehouse mopping up rooms. He turns out to be Cristina’s son. An inventive dude with a brash persona, he is noticeably sly and prone to ruckus.

Hieronymus and his crew

Bobby Brazier as Nevin Beamish Potter (recurring) - A cheeky though somewhat jaded part-Caribbean friend of Vera Parker in her London holidays.

Darci Shaw as Sarah Lyle Holt - Hieronymus’ kinda queer wife, who’s a half-nude spy going native. 

Samuel Joslin as Sam Featherstone - A sympathetic but sometimes drunk friend of Hieronymus Holt, who actually survives the whole mud prison plot and escapes into the jungle with him. 

The Durhams 

Sophie Simnett as Margaret Durham - Margaret is a member of the suburban London entourage abandoned by the gullible Tom Lawley, but who still keeps on going even in the face of danger. 

Alexander Armstrong as Colin Durham - Margaret’s reporter dad, who comes to the Mayombe coast to audit the horrible scale of logging in the wild.  

Kate Ashfield as Gwendolyn Durham - Colin’s estranged wife who lives in the UK, who is shown to have chronic health conditions thanks to all the pollution ravaging suburban London. 

Lexi Lancaster as Sheila Durham - Margaret’s youngest sister, who initially was quite nervous around the newfound tropical setting that her father Colin introduced her to. 

Amelia Crouch as Vivienne Durham - Vivienne Durham first met Tarzan when she and Margaret were sailing to find their dad and youngest sister in the jungle. 

Dr. Doyle’s Expedition 

Dara Renee as Penny Bishop - Penny is a wonderful character for the first episode to one of the arcs in the Tarzan reboot-remake type reimagining. She is the younger plucky woman to Marjorie’s midlife oomph.

Kimberly Brooks as Marjorie Bishop - Marjorie has a grownup daughter named Penny Bishop and both are firm yet sassy women on an expedition gone horribly wrong too early, partly thanks to the machinations of a Sea Mangani chieftain.
