Main

 * Lucas Till as Angus "Mac" MacGyver: The son of James MacGyver aka "Oversight" and newly reinstated Phoenix agent. He starts out the season in a relationship with a Nigerian woman named Nasha, but after Murdoc kidnaps her to leverage Mac, they end their relationship. From that point onward, Mac and Leah grow closer.
 * Shelley Hennig as Aaliyah "Leah" Reynolds: The niece of Director Matilda "Matty" Webber and the lead agent of tactical operations. After Angus' return to Phoenix, Aaliyah rejoins her old team as their new tactical expert. When Jack Dalton is reassigned to an international task force, Leah becomes the sole protector of her team. Throughout the season, Leah's feelings for Mac grow in a romantic direction.
 * George Eads as Jack Dalton: Former CIA and Delta Force who is one of the Phoenix team's tactical experts. When an old face from his past resurfaces, Jack joins an international task force to hunt him down, leaving Aaliyah to fill his boots to watch Mac and the rest of the team's back.
 * Tristan Mays as Riley Davis: A hacker and computer expert who's in a relationship with bounty hunter Billy Colton. Riley uses her hacker-know-how to keep watch over the team via satellites. She also sees Jack Dalton as her surrogate father, but is also working on mending fences with her biological father, Elwood Davis. Riley also sees Aaliyah as the sister she's never had.
 * Justin Hires as Wilt Bozer: The childhood best friend of Mac and Leah, the boyfriend of Leanna Martin, and the master of disguise and cinematic knowledge. Bozer is the first to notice the new dynamic between Angus and Aaliyah, and is a little hesitant to want them back together because of how it affected Mac when they were teens once Aaliyah left Mission City. But, above all else, he just wants his friends to be happy. He loves his Phoenix teammates like family.
 * Meredith Eaton as Matilda "Matty" Webber: The Director of the Phoenix Foundation and maternal figure to her team. It's revealed in this season that Matty is Aaliyah's aunt through her marriage to CIA agent Ethan Reigns (who is Aaliyah's maternal uncle), this coming to light when his life is put in danger when his deep-cover identity is exposed. Though her marriage to Ethan ends, Matty still loves him and continues to care for Aaliyah as the daughter she never had.

Recurring

 * Tate Donovan as James MacGyver/Oversight: The Head of the Phoenix Foundation and father of Angus MacGyver. It's revealed in this season that he's battling cancer and someone with a grudge against him is trying to kill him.
 * Brendan Hines as Ethan Reigns: The maternal uncle of Aaliyah and husband of Matty. It's revealed he works for the CIA and has been in deep-cover for eight years, and has been dark for over two. The mission was codenamed "Dragonfly" and when his cover is exposed, he's extracted by Matty's team. It's revealed he went dark over two years ago when he had a daughter with a woman he fell in love with during his assignment. Despite this, he remains on good terms with Matty and Aaliyah, and when the lives of his family are threatened, he'll do whatever it takes to save them.
