Premise

Main article: List of Raising Hope episodes

A 23-year-old must raise his infant daughter, conceived by a one-night stand, with the help of his flawed family after the baby's mother (who has killed multiple boyfriends) is given a death sentence and executed when the baby is only six months old.

Cast

Main cast

  • Lucas Neff as James "Jimmy" Chance, Hope's father. He is a 23-year-old who is clueless about raising a child and everything else. Before having Hope, he met and had sex with Lucy, resulting in her pregnancy and the birth of Hope. He did not know about Hope until eight months later after contacting Lucy. He also did not know that Lucy was a serial killer until she was put in prison by his family.
    • Trace Garcia as three-year-old Jimmy.
    • Mason Cook as eight-year-old Jimmy.
  • Martha Plimpton as Virginia Chance. Hope's grandmother, Jimmy's mother, and Burt's wife. Virginia conceived Jimmy when she was fifteen. Her mother left her when she was two years old, leaving her with a story about being killed by a duck, and she was raised by her grandmother, Maw Maw.
    • Kelly Heyer as teenage Virginia.
  • Garret Dillahunt as Burt Chance. Hope's grandfather, Jimmy's father, and Virginia's husband. Burt conceived Jimmy with Virginia when he was seventeen. He has a gardening business which he runs with Jimmy.
    • Cameron Moulene as teenage Burt.
  • Shannon Woodward as Sabrina Collins. She works at the nearby grocery market. She spends most of her time drawing on cantaloupes and mixing up the cereals and soup cans. She immediately catches Jimmy's attention, but has a boyfriend who is studying finance in New York.
  • Baylie and Rylie Cregut as Hope Chance, Jimmy and Lucy's Daughter.

Recurring cast

  • Cloris Leachman as Maw Maw (Barbara June Thompson), Virginia's 84-year old grandmother who tends to show signs of Alzheimer's Disease. Maw Maw has short-lived moments of lucidity in which she can be very helpful.
  • Bijou Phillips[5] as Lucy Carlyle, Hope's mother. She is a serial murderer who has killed several of her boyfriends. She met Jimmy after trying to escape her latest attempt at killing. She then seduces him, becoming pregnant with Hope. Soon afterward, the Chances learn that Lucy is a serial killer and turn her in. Eight months later, Lucy contacts Jimmy and reveals that she has a baby. After delivering a daughter she originally names Princess Beyoncé, Lucy is sentenced to death by electric chair. In one of the later episodes, Jimmy, Burt, and Virginia receive the memoir Lucy left Hope, which includes a video about how to survive in prison and how to dance sexually.
  • Kate Micucci as Shelly, Sabrina's cousin. Shelly had previously made out with Jimmy during a party. Two years later, Shelly reappears after Jimmy needs a babysitter. Shelly is positive that Jimmy loves her and they start a "relationship," only to be ended by Jimmy when he reveals his feelings for Sabrina to her. She used to have a dead tooth that she kept as a conversation starter, but had it fixed when she saw an episode on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia where a girl with a dead tooth was made fun of and wanted hers fixed before someone made fun of her which many people had been doing for a while.
  • Gregg Binkley as Barney, the manager at the store where Jimmy and Sabrina work.

Guest cast

  • Ryan Doom as Wyatt, Sabrina's current boyfriend.
  • Skyler Stone as Mike Chance, Jimmy's cousin. He worked for Burt's gardening business before leaving with a girl to join a cult. In the March 8th, 2011 episode "The Cultish Personality", Mike returns with his wife Tanya (Mary Lynn Rajskub) and "brother-husbands" Jeff (Paul F. Tompkins), Rodney (Chris Frontiero) and Chester (Kent Avenido). Tanya practices polyandry. It is revealed that his father (Burt's brother) Bruce (J.K. Simmons) had kicked him out of the house, and Burt had taken him in. After being falsely accused by Burt of kidnapping Hope (Burt's attempt to get Mike out of the cult and back with his father), Mike reunites with his father and joins the family mattress business.
  • Greg Germann as Dale Carlyle, Lucy's father, a psychiatrist treating his wife.
  • Valerie Mahaffey as Margine Carlyle, Lucy's mother. She is being treated by her husband (who was previously her therapist) for depression. She and her husband try to kidnap Hope twice and wind up in prison.
  • Jason Lee as Smokey Floyd, a washed-up rock star for whom Burt once tried to audition until Smokey told him to take baby Jimmy and go.
  • Amy Sedaris as Delilah, Virginia's cousin and MawMaw's granddaughter.
  • JK Simmons as Bruce, Burt's brother and Mike's father.

Development and production

In June 2009, Fox announced it had booked a put pilot commitment with show creator Greg Garcia.[6][7] Michael Fresco signed on to direct the pilot in September 2009, which was originally titled Keep Hope Alive.[8]

Casting announcements began in November, with Martha Plimpton and Lucas Neff as the first actors cast.[9][10] Neff will portray the lead role of 23-year old Jimmy, the father to infant Hope, with Plimpton playing his mother, Virginia.[9] Olesya Rulin joined the cast shortly thereafter as Sabrina, the new love interest for Jimmy.[9] Garret Dillahunt came on board in late November to portray Jimmy's father, Burt.[11]

In early December 2009, Kate Micucci was added to the cast as Jimmy's cousin. The role was originally created as a male named Mike.[12][13] The pilot was filmed in December 2009, with Bijou Phillips as Lucy the serial killer/Hope's mother.[14][15]

In early spring 2010, reports stated that Cloris Leachman would portray Jimmy's great-grandmother, Maw Maw.[16][17] In March, Fox decided to recast two roles from the pilot. Shannon Woodward replaced Olesya Rulin as Sabrina, Jimmy's new love interest.[18] Also recast was the role of Jimmy's cousin, and the role reverted back to male with the addition of Skyler Stone as Mike.[15][19] With this, Kate Micucci's role changed from Jimmy's cousin to become Shelly, the cousin of his love interest Sabrina.

Fox green-lit the pilot to series with an order in mid-May 2010.[20][21] On May 17, 2010, Fox announced at the upfront presentation that the series, with the new title Raising Hope, was included in its 2010-11 television schedule and set for a fall 2010 premiere.[2][22]
