Original voice actors E.G. Daily and Nancy Cartwright reprised their roles as Tommy Pickles and Chuckie Finster for the revival, along with Cheryl Chase as Angelica Pickles, Cree Summer as Susie Carmichael, and Kath Soucie as Phil and Lil DeVille. The revival also welcomed several new additions to the voice cast, including Tony Hale as Chuckie’s father, Chas, Natalie Morales as Phil and Lil’s mother, Betty, and Nicole Byer as Susie’s mother, Lucy.
