So, watch out, Simpsons! Keep reading to see the cast of Bless the Harts and their animated characters. 

Here's the star-studded cast of Bless the Harts:

Jenny is the "glue" of the family, a single mom who works as a waitress at the Last Supper restaurant. Ike Barinholtz dubbed her, "the middle valve" of the heart. Get it? 

Kristen described the show as a "hilarious, heartfelt family comedy." 

The matriarch of the family, Betty gets on Jenny's nerves but they are a super close mother-daughter duo.  

"She's not always making correct choices, but they are always coming from the right place," Maya explained of the wine box-loving grandmother, who just might be our favorite character. 

Violet is Jenny's daughter and according to Jenny, she brings a "sense of dry sarcasm" to the North Carolina-based family.

"She's an angsty, artistically talented teenager," Jillian shared. "Violet for sure has to play the mom or sort of the audience watching it, like that's sort of ridiculous that we're doing but OK I'm with my family and we're going to do it."  

Wayne is Jenny's not-so-bright boyfriend. "Wayne is a very sweet man," Ike said of his character. "I don't think he will be winning the Nobel Prize any time soon... he's just a very sweet but somewhat dim fellow." 

However, he is still able to develop a close relationship with Violet, who is pretty much his complete opposite. 

You can catch Brenda at the Last Supper restaurant, where she works alongside Jenny. She will appear in four episodes this season so keep an eye out!

You can catch Kumail's Jesus at the Last Supper restaurant where he is always giving Jenny guidance. 

"Jenny speaks to Jesus... he's at the Last Supper restaurant usually when she's contemplating certain things and needs advice," Kristen said. 

He's pretty much Jenny's self-proclaimed sassy best friend. 

Watch Bless the Harts Sundays at 8:30 p.m. EST on FOX.
