Premise

Devil May Care introduces a version of Hell where it is not populated by evil, but by anything in the universe God thought was too annoying to spend eternity with in Heaven. Devil has no idea of that true purpose of Hell, and thinks he's just supposed to make the place run smoothly. He's gentrified Hell and tries to keep people happy. Enter Beans, a young social media manager, who is assigned to be Devil's assistant. Devil is thrilled to introduce social media to Hell and puts Beans to work. The show is about Beans settling into Hell, Devil trying to make Hell awesome, and both of them juggling their personal lives with work.

Cast

Main

• Devil (voiced byAlan Tudyk) is an excitable, trusting and industrious out-of-the-box thinking supernatural being who rules over Hell like a hyperactive Steve Jobs. His goal is to get Hell into the best state possible so that God will finally, after all these millennia, give him a good performance review.
• Zachary "Beans" Bean (voiced byAsif Ali) is a Gen-Z kid who has no idea why he's in Hell. Easy to scare and eager to please, Beans does his best to explain social media to Devil and his staff while trying to stay sane.

Supporting

• Regina (voiced byPamela Adlon) is one of the original Succubi of Hell who married Devil in hopes she could influence him to change Hell back to the lava-and-torture look of the old days. They have two children together.
• President McKinley(voiced byFred Tatasciore) is the hard-ass President of the United States who was in office during the Spanish-American War. That makes him the perfect guy to perform any duty Devil himself doesn't want to do. Is referred to as "The Devil's Advocate" and can't stand Devil's spontaneous ways.
• Gloria (voiced byStephanie Beatriz) is Hell's Head Demon. Like the superintendent of an old apartment building, she knows how everything works and finds it all a bit boring. Over the years, she has seen and done everything there is to see and do.

Recurring

• Calvin (voiced byPhil LaMarr) is Devil and Regina's young son. He may look demonic, but he's very sweet.
• Charlotte (voiced byPamela Adlon) is Devil and Regina's young daughter. She may look sweet, but she's actually very demonic.
• Coma (voiced byGrey Griffin) is Devil's secretary who is a good worker, keeps to herself, and is a bit creepy since she's all hair.

Guest

• Tichina Arnoldas Jezebeth
• Lewis Blackas Atheist Steve
• Richard Kindas Meteorologist Smith
• Maurice LaMarcheas Peter
• Lindsay Lohanas Ziva
• Jack McBrayeras God
