Cast and characters
Main
- "Weird Al" Yankovic as Milo Murphy, the title character of the series. He has a reputation for having extreme misfortune, but he is always optimistic and finds ways to overcome it. He carries a backpack with him that always seems to have what he needs for any given situation. It was given to him by his old babysitter, Veronica, who was the only one able to handle Murphy's Law.
- Sabrina Carpenter as Melissa Chase, a long-time friend of Milo's who likes to hang out with him despite his bad luck. Her father is the local fire chief. She has had a secret fear of rollercoasters since one nearly fell on her.
- Mekai Curtis as Zack Underwood, the new kid in Swamp City who becomes best friends with Milo and sticks by Milo even though he is a jinx. He is on the football team. He was once the lead singer of a boy band called "The Lumberzacks". He also has a fear of fish.
Recurring
Murphy family
- Diedrich Bader as Martin Murphy, Milo's father. Just like his son, he has extreme misfortune. He works as the Swamp City Safety Inspector, mostly due to the fact that when he's around, safety contingencies are pushed to the limit.
- Pamela Adlon as Brigette Murphy, Milo's mother, and an architect.
- Kate Micucci as Sara Murphy, Milo's older sister and fellow Dr. Zone fan who loves her brother despite his recurring bad luck.
- Dee Bradley Baker as Diogee, Milo's dog. He regularly follows Milo, who keeps telling him to go home as he is almost always not allowed to be wherever Milo is at the moment. His name is pronounced "D-O-G," as if spelling out the word "dog."
Time travel agents
- Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh as Vinnie Dakota and Balthazar Cavendish, respectively, time travelers from different years, given the assignment to prevent the extinction of the pistachio. They are considered a joke by fellow time agents because their job is considered inconsequential and was only given to them because their boss likes pistachios. A semi-recurring gag involves Milo attempting to purchase pistachios from them and his bad luck causing them to lose their pistachios. Dakota dresses in 1970s Disco style, while Cavendish dresses in 1870s formal style.
- Mark Hamill as Mr. Block, Cavendish and Dakota's superior.
- Ming-Na Wen as Savannah, an attractive time travel agent who Vinnie has a crush on.

In "Sunny Side Up", it is hinted that he has a crush on Melissa; this continues through other episodes, though he seems insecure about his affection and lets Melissa's friendship with Milo deter him.
- Greg Cipes as Mort Schaeffer, a burly-looking student in Milo's class. He is Bradley's friend, but is annoyed over Bradley's arrogance and tends to be civil with Milo.
