Minimalist Cast | comment |
The Minimalist Cast happens when the only characters that appear at all onscreen are the main characters. No supporting characters, no extras, no guest stars. There may be ghost characters, who never appear onscreen but still exist for the main characters. Or an actor in a monster suit. Or there may be a Companion Cube, especially if this state of affairs is expected to last an entire series. This is rarely pulled off successfully in long running serial material. Even Gilligan's Island — a show whose premise was designed for this — got guest stars. But sometimes it can be made to work. Serials which ordinarily feature more characters may restrict themselves to a Minimalist Cast for a one-off Bottle Episode. In non-serial material, it is more easily arranged, as then The Law of Conservation of Detail no longer fights against the Rule of Drama or the First Law of Metafictional Thermodynamics. Note that the limited number of characters in no way guarantees their immortality; a Dwindling Party in these situations can be very frightening. When poorly executed, it can be a bit unsettling, as some of the audience may find the unexplained emptiness eerie. Note that for this trope to apply, the minimalism has to be noticeable in one way or another. In some cases, the cast can go up to nine or ten individuals but without a single side or background character. Another way for this trope to play, which more often than not occurs in Video Games, is to have many Faceless Goons for the protagonist to fight but actually very little fully-fledged characters. The Minimalist Cast is the essence of monologue-plays, as well as "two-hander" productions which only involve two actors. Compare with Minimalism. See also Beautiful Void. You should choose carefully between this, and Economy Cast (similar but less logical). By definition, any work with a Minimalist Cast is also one where The Main Characters Do Everything, but a work in which The Main Characters Do Everything does not necessarily have a Minimalist Cast. |

Jason Robert Brown's The Last Five Years has two actors total. Even better, there's only a couple of songs when they're even on stage at the same time. (The film adaptation, starring Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan, was in fact criticized by some fans for having additional speaking parts!) | |

Silent Hill: Downpour has less than a dozen characters to populate a whole realistically sized city, with sprawling ghettos and subways, and the vast majority of those characters are enigmatic manifestations of the city. However, there are a few more characters in flashbacks, and lots of haunted houses with detailed histories and motivations behind their ghosts, so it feels like there are slightly more characters than are actually there. | |

Samurai Jack has multiple episodes where Jack is almost alone throughout its entirety, such as "Jack and the Monks". In fact, during the first four seasons, the only characters besides Jack himself to appear in more than one episode are Aku (the series' Big Bad), the Scotsman, Ra (one of the three deity gods) and Jack's unnamed father. The fifth (and final) season adds Ashi, the High Priestess and Scaramouche. Various of the previously one-shot characters from the first four seasons also make another appearance during the series finale. |

TaleSpin has a similarly small recurring cast as Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers. Baloo, Kit, Rebecca, Molly, Wildcat, and Louie. So much for the good guys. Shere Khan is in between. The recurring baddies are limited to two or three Thembrians plus Don Karnage and a handful of Mooks. Needless to say that a number of one-shot Ensemble Darkhorses grew out of this show. | |

BoJack Horseman: "Free Churro" is a Bottle Episode of BoJack giving an eulogy at a funeral. The whole episode is spent showing BoJack giving the eulogy in the church and he is the only character with a speaking role for the most part of the episode. In fact, Will Arnett is the only voice actor in the episode, as the other character to speak is BoJack's father, Butterscotch in the prologue who is also voiced by him. Notably, the prologue was Butterscotch picking up the young BoJack (not voiced by Will Arnett, so he silently entered the car) and Butterscotch absentmindedly verbally abusing both BoJack and his wife (the woman BoJack would then spend the majority of the episode eulogizing). | |

In the second season of the Redwall cartoon (based on the novel Mattimeo), the show migrates towards this. Slagar the Cruel captures most of the Abbey's young ones and adds them to his band of slaves, but midway through the season, he inexplicably only has the main characters in chains. Nowhere along the line does he sell any slaves; they're just gone. | |

The Donkey Kong Country animated series takes place on an island which basically houses eight monkeys (DK, Diddy, Cranky, Candy, Funky, Bluster, Dixie, and Eddie the Mean Old Yeti) and three crocodiles (K. Rool, Krusha, and Klump)note and a seemingly endless army of Kritters and Klap-Traps. Once in a while, a ship with three pirates shows up. It's also mentioned there are offscreen residents, such as Bluster's mom, but it's unclear if they live on the island or somewhere off-island. | |

Yuki Yuna is a Hero: the only characters are the five protagonists, their animal familiars, "Taisha" — the shadowy leaders of the Magical Girl system, only seen in the form of text messages — and later Sonoko. The non-magical students have no lines and rarely appear. | |

Possibly the biggest example in Looney Tunes was "Good Night Elmer", which was Elmer Fudd alone. And he had no dialogue, the cartoon being pretty much a mime act. 1939's "Bedtime For Sniffles" is another example. It entails Sniffles the Mouse trying to stay awake on Christmas Eve so he can see Santa (who appears with sleigh and reindeer in silhouette at the end). 1953's "Much Ado About Nutting" takes place in a city's downtown area but curiously there is nobody present except a squirrel who spends the cartoon trying to crack open a coconut. |

The player character in Iron Lung is the only character who 'appears' onscreen (the game takes place in first-person, so the player is a First-Person Ghost). At the start we hear the voice of one of the researchers communicating with the player, but they never physically appear. Beyond some vague references to other researchers and some kind of governing body, there's only two characters. It helps highlight the player's sense of isolation down in the depths. | |

Although My Little Pony usually has everypony imaginable, the franchise briefly switched to this at one point. In 2008, the main cast was reduced to just 7 characters: Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Scootaloo, StarSong, Sweetie Belle, and retooled versions of Toola-Roola and Cheerilee. The only others to get toys during that time were three nameless minor characters who were the mothers of Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Cheerilee and Scootaloo, respectively. They did produce a rather wide variety of toys during those two years... but they all depicted the same 10 characters, which was a very unusually low number considering how many there were in other years. | |

The film adaptation of the stage play Fences, other than a handful of scenes with Ghost Extras, has only 7 characters: Troy, Rose, Bono, Cory, Lyons, Gabe and Raynell (who only appears in the last few scenes). Additionally, there are two ghost characters: Bono's wife Lucille, and Alberta, Troy's mistress. On top of the small cast, these characters are rarely all on screen at the same time, making the cast seem even smaller. | |

The original Fireman Sam had a cast of nine main characters (Sam, Elvis, Station Officer Steele, Trevor, Bella, Dilys, Norman, Sarah, and James; ten if you count Rosa the cat). Series 3 added a tenth, Penny. Later on, when the series was revived in the 2000s, the cast expanded greatly to include a variety of new characters, averting this tropenote Tom, Mike, Helen, Mandy, Charlie and Bronwyn, Derek, Fire Chief Boyce, Moose, Mrs. Chen, Lily, Gareth, Ben, Hannah, Lizzie, Joe, Ellie, Arnold, Jerry Lee, Malcolm, Rose, Krystyna, Peter, and Annie. | |

In most Kirby games, the cast is limited to Kirby, some random enemies, Well-Intentioned Extremist Rivals King Dedede and Meta Knight, the Monster of the Week, and maybe a Waddle Dee or other "sidekick" character. The Dark Matter Trilogy expanded on this a bit with the introduction of Gooey and the Animal Friends, and marked the series' overall shift towards having a rather large character count overall (mainly due to one-off and minor recurring characters adding up); however, most individual games fall squarely into this trope. | |

There are maybe eight characters total in all 31 pages of Blue Moon Blossom — the bunny, the dino, the koala, the frog, the rabbit spirit, the fortune teller, the bunny's parent, and if we stretch the definition, maybe the village optometrist who gets the koala new glasses at the end. The fact that the main cast consists of Funny Animals and most of the panels contain some kind of animal blurs the line somewhat, but the vast, overwhelming majority of these animals are just kind of there not doing anything in particular, and are treated as nothing more than part of the scenery. | |

Arnold: During its five-year run only five characters ever appeared. Arnold himself, classmates Tommy and Heather, their teacher Mr. Lester, and his baby brother Sidney. Even then vast majority of the strip's run only featured Arnold, Tommy, and Mr. Lester. Heather only appeared for few months in the beginning before she disappeared without explanation, and Sidney wasn't introduced until near the end of the strip's run. Every other character only spoke from off-panel. | |

Hiroshima Mon Amour has only four speaking parts, and in fact the two lovers who are the protagonists of the story have about 98% of the spoken dialogue. An old lady gets a couple of lines as she talks to the man, and another man gets a couple of lines as he talks to the woman, and that's it. There are a few more actors who have wordless parts, such as the woman's parents and her former soldier lover, who appear in flashbacks. | |

Dead Space starts several hours after an outbreak has swept through a mining colony, resulting in everyone on the planet and orbiting ship either dying horribly or becoming a monster. Not including the monsters and two Red Shirts in the intro, only 6 characters appear: Isaac Clarke, Zach Hammond, Kendra Daniels, Dr. Mercer, Dr. Kyne, Nicole Brennan. It's actually 5, as Nicole is a hallucination, and the number decreases until only Isaac is left. | |

On Franklin, it is rather rare to see any characters other than the main cast of kids, their parents and Mr. Owl and the characters who run the shops like Mr. Mole, even though there should be way more people in order for those shops to actually reasonably remain in business. Franklin and his friends are almost never shown playing with anyone other than each other and although characters other than Franklin and Bear are said to have siblings, they are only ever seen once or a few times at most. | |

Any old theatrical cartoon series, despite having dozens of available characters in their recurring cast, will mostly have just one or two main characters and at least one antagonist in any individual cartoon. The Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner cartoons are a good example of this: no character other than Wile E. and the Road Runner appearnote except for a few. Sometimes the series character will be the only one on screen, such as many of the early Pink Panther shorts, or the Goofy "How-To" cartoons, where even the ones with team sports will have Goofy as every player. | |

Togawa's boss shows up twice in a chapter and Shima's ex is referenced multiple times, though he never shows up, leaving a total of 5 relevant characters to the story. The spin off adds one more in the form of Deguchi, Onoda's friend that is in love with him. | |

There are no other characters, with the exception of a man who is shown as the prisoner of the Wacky Wayside Tribe and is onscreen for only a few minutes, and plays a most minor role. The Wacky Wayside Tribe exist, but are technically not "characters", in the sense of total lack of dialog or characterization. | |

How to Make an Invisible Man is an interesting case, as it initially features numerous teachers and classmates, but they all disapear from the radar when the main character becomes completely "invisible". After Chapter 3, the only characters appearing or speaking are Shinji, his Childhood Friend Kana who keeps unconsciously waiting for him, and Miki, who made Shinji invisible, reinforcing the impression that these three are quite literally removed from the world. | |

Silent Hill is fond of this trope, most games containing a handful of characters amongst a lot of monsters. Isolation is a strong theme throughout the series. Silent Hill has five or six characters (depending on whether or not Cheryl's infrequent appearances qualify her as a character), one of whom is Dead All Along. Silent Hill 2 has five characters, one of whom is a hallucination. Silent Hill 3 has four characters total. Silent Hill 4 has a surprisingly high number of eight, but four are dead soon after they're encountered and one is little more than a Continuity Nod. Silent Hill: Downpour has less than a dozen characters to populate a whole realistically sized city, with sprawling ghettos and subways, and the vast majority of those characters are enigmatic manifestations of the city. However, there are a few more characters in flashbacks, and lots of haunted houses with detailed histories and motivations behind their ghosts, so it feels like there are slightly more characters than are actually there. |

In Zeke's Pad, several episodes (notably "Clean Slate" and "Drawn Together") will only feature Zeke, his family, Jay, and occasionally Maxine. Production-wise, there are only five voice actors (not counting guest stars). Reminder; there are six main charactersnote Ike and Alvin share a voice actor. |

The first Sonic The Hedgehog was this, consisting of only Sonic and Eggman; but from Sonic the Hedgehog 2 onward the series began to move out of this until it eventually had an extremely extensive cast. This became an issue when the earlier Alternate Continuity animated shows and comic books were in development, which made it necessary to add a lot of Canon Foreigners to balance out this problem. Reverted in Sonic the Hedgehog 4, as the game made the choice to omit everyone but Sonic and Eggman from the game due to the common complaint of Sonic's many friends, much to the backlash of fans, since not even Tails or Knuckles were allowed a spot. |

Ingmar Bergman's Persona (1966) has only five actors (and, depending on how you interpret the film, possibly even fewer actual characters), three of them only appearing briefly. Another Bergman film, Through a Glass Darkly, has only four characters — the four people spending a beach weekend together—and doesn't even feature any extras. | |

Like Bastion above, Transistor could also count. There are a collection of side characters, but they've all been processed by the time you meet them, and while some of them get lines post-processing, they're too garbled to understand, leaving just Red, the Man in the Transistor and the four members of the Camerata. The only person who could be considered a (still-living) side character is the news reporter who Red never meets, and who ends up serving as an on-going Apocalyptic Log anyway. | |

Saturn 3 has a cast of Kirk Douglas, Harvey Keitel, Farrah Fawcett, and one other onscreen speaking character who gets killed in the first five minutes. All other characters are heard only via intercom or long-range radio. And none of them have an actual dialogue with the main characters. All other characters are background extras, including a completely masked space pilot. The total could be five characters if you count Hector the robot. Six if you count the fact that Keitel's voice was dubbed over by Roy Dotrice. | |

Bakemonogatari only has about a dozen named characters. A few of them (such as Hitagi's father, or Koyomi's sisters) might seem less significant, but they only appear for actual significant interaction. Furthermore, there are no walk on extras at all (unless you count blurred and censored images in some flashbacks). In place of extras, they sometimes show a sort of person-shaped cut-out. It gives an eerie sort of feeling, considering things take place in what should be crowded places, and gets particularly creepy when you realize that every character in Hajikuji's opening are cloned extras of Hajikuji herself. | |

Little Einsteins: The four kids named Leo, Quincy, June and Annie, along with their Rocket. They're the only humans to be seen in this TV show. In the extremely rare event that somebody apart from these characters is shown, they'll always be off-screen. |

Kaeloo: In the first three seasons, the show has only sevennote Kaeloo, Stumpy, Quack Quack, Mr. Cat, Pretty, Eugly and Olaf characters. While it could be argued that the seemingly sentient plants and the random sheep that pops up every now and then might count, they're still little more than props in terms of how they're used. This trope becomes subverted after season 4. | |

Donkey Kong: The original arcade games have only a few characters each: Mario, Pauline, and Donkey Kong in Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., Donkey Kong, and Mario in Donkey Kong Junior, and Stanley and Donkey Kong in Donkey Kong 3. Donkey Kong '94 featured just Mario, Pauline, Donkey Kong, and Donkey Kong Jr. As a reformulated take on the Donkey Kong Country formula, Donkey Kong Land has Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Cranky Kong and King K. Rool as the only major characters, and Cranky only shows up in the manual! |

For a good portion of the first season of Bear in the Big Blue House, the main characters of Bear, Ojo, Tutter, Treelo, Pip and Pop, Shadow and Luna were the only characters ever seen. The very first guest, Grandma Flutter, would not appear until the show's sixteenth episode, although the rabbit who would be known as "Christine" had appeared in the background in previous installments. Regular guests such as Ray and Doc Hogg would not debut until the show's second season. | |

Amnesia: While Amnesia: The Dark Descent has a rather sizable secondary cast heard in audio flashbacks or mentioned in the various documents lying around, the only people actually in the castle are Agrippa, Alexander, and Daniel. Not counting the Gatherers and the large pile of bodies in the basement, of course. Amnesia: The Bunker has a similar aproach, with Apocalyptic Logs written by various people while the only people actually in the titular bunker being Henri, Boisrond (And not for long), Karl (who's stuck being a POW) and The Beast (who used to be Henri's former comrade Lambert). Not counting the rats, corpses and one crazy guy roaming the Roman Ruins. |

Downplayed with the Danganronpa series. In each mainline game, the entire main cast of 15 or so characters is introduced right off the bat. These are the only characters present for most of the game, and due to the series' nature, the cast actually gets smaller as the game progresses. It isn't until the final chapter that new characters appear, and sometimes even that isn't technically true, if you consider Monokuma and that installment's mastermind to be the same entity. | |

Tomoko from No Matter How I Look at It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular! is an extremely awkward introvert, making this definitely the case in early chapters. Tomoko, her brother Tomoki, her cousin Kii, her old friend Yuu, and kindly upperclasswoman Imae are the only named characters in the twelve-episode anime adaptation, which covers the first 30ish chapters of the manga. Later on, this stopped applying, due to the class trip arc significantly expanding the supporting cast — funnily, it did so mostly by expanding characters who were background filler beforehand. | |

The Human Centipede (First Sequence) primarily focuses on four characters: The Mad Scientist Heiter who creates the centipede, and the three victims (two of which are unable to talk throughout a large portion of the film due to being a part of said creation.) Towards the end, there are two additional characters in the form of the two cops who come to Heiter's house, and there are two more minor characters in the form of the truck driver in the beginning and the pervert in the car who Jenny and Lindsay try to get help from. If you want to really stretch the definition of "character" there's also the person on the other side of the phone in the hotel scene. | |

SpongeBob SquarePants: In "Tea At The Treedome", only SpongeBob, Patrick and Sandy appear in the episode. In "Jellyfish Jam", the only main characters present are SpongeBob, Squidward, and Gary. In "Naughty Nautical Neighbors", SpongeBob, Patrick and Squidward are the only characters present. In "Gary Takes a Bath", SpongeBob and Gary are the only main characters shown (not counting a brief, non-speaking cameo from Mr. Krabs). In "The Secret Box", SpongeBob, Patrick and Gary are the only characters to appear (not counting Squidward's brief sentient house). In "Reef Blower", SpongeBob and Squidward are the only characters present. There isn’t any dialogue, either, aside from SpongeBob shouting "You!", but that was subtitled. "Rise and Shine" is centered almost entirely around Patrick; SpongeBob and Gary are the only other characters present; and only appear at the very beginning (and in SpongeBob’s case, the end). |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fics: Most of the Silent Ponyville Chronicles have this trope, with the first installment including only Pinkie and Twilight. Being based on Silent Hill (see below) will do that. The short fanfic Gimme Shelter has all of two characters, Fleur de Lis and Fancypants, appear in the story. The only characters in Octaves are Vinyl Scratch and Octavia, and they as well as a bartender in Chapter 6 are the only ponies with speaking roles. Other characters, such as Vinyl's boss or the music critic that gave Vinyl's album a negative review, are mentioned frequently but never actually appear. |

Doctor Who: Way back in 1964 there's the slightly surreal two-part serial Bottle Episode "The Edge of Destruction", which features only the four regular characters, and is set entirely inside the TARDIS (the console room and a couple of other rooms). When an episode was cut from the previous story and "The Mind Robber" was expanded from four to five episodes, its first episode became this. There was no budget (even by Doctor Who's notoriously low standards) for additional cast, props, costumes or even sets. The only resources available was the standing TARDIS control room set, the 3 leads, the robots that would appear later on in the story and a large empty stage painted white. Surprisingly it worked. The Doctor, Sarah Jane and Harry are the only characters on-screen in the first episode of "The Ark in Space". If the above implies that "and robots" doesn't disqualify an episode for this, then "The Girl Who Waited" counts as one of these. It features only the three main characters, some robots and a disembodied voice-interface. The cast list is the shortest of any new-series Doctor Who episode... ...until "Heaven Sent", which features a grand total of four characters: one who isn't really there, another who doesn't appear until the final moments of the episode, the Doctor himself, and the Monster of the Week (which doesn't speak). Capaldi carries the vast majority of the episode on his own and delivers all but one line of dialogue. |

The Japanese children's book Ringing Bell only has three (later two) characters. The main protagonist is Chirin the lamb, and the main antagonist is Woe the wolf. The book is about Chirin seeking revenge after Woe kills and eats the entire flock, including Chirin's own mother. The 1978 film adaptation by Sanrio, spares most of the flock, as Woe only kills Chirin's mother and an unnamed sheep. However, the sheep are background characters who only appear at the beginning and end of the movie. | |

In Doki Doki Literature Club!, you can even go to the game's folders to see there are files there for only four characters, and Player Character aside, nobody without a character file can "physically" appear in the game. That's the three girls you can choose to romance, plus Monika, who's there to "keep you on track for a perfect ending". Other characters are barely even referenced, and even that little is mostly about Natsuki's father. | |

Ed, Edd n Eddy. Throughout the show's five seasons, the cast of characters never expanded beyond twelve people and Plank. No background characters or adults ever appeared, and even when a school was added to the setting in later seasons, no additional kids appeared, and all 12 kids tended to be in the same classes despite their differing ages. There were a number of slight exceptions, such as the silhouette of Santa Claus in the Christmas special, Ed's invisible Not-So-Imaginary Friend, the body parts of adults appearing in a few episodes, and very vague Faceless Masses, but the rule was only broken in earnest during the Grand Finale movie, where we actually get to meet Eddy's much-vaunted older brother, the thirteenth character. | |

Pokémon: The Series did a pair of episodes in the Sun & Moon Ultra Legends arc where Ash & his Torracat are inadvertently TimeTravelled. The first episode, focusing on Ash, only features him & his Torracat and a young Kukui & his Litten. The following episode is from the perspective of Ash's Pikachu, Lycanroc, Meltan & Rowlet searching for him, and Ash is the only human who appears in the episode (albeit at the beginning & end). note Ash's Pokémon encounter several wild 'mons, along with Lusamine's Clefable & Ash's ride Garchomp, so YMMV whether they count as characters. | |

SM64.z64 is a romhack of Super Mario 64 where every character is removed from Peach's Castle and Bob-Omb Battlefield. The game turns even bleaker as the level is cleared multiple times, until a Glitch Entity called M'' ,:; spawns in and erases Mario. With even the plumber gone, the game becomes unplayable when the player next loads it. | |

The only characters in the original Doom games are Doomguy and the hordes of demons that he fights. Doom (2016) is only slightly more crowded, with VEGA, Samuel Hayden, and Olivia Pierce adding commentary from time to time, but is still mostly Doomguy doing what he does best (while Hayden chides his methods). | |

The Fly (1986) has only three major characters — Seth, Veronica, and Stathis — and the men only interact with each other in two sequences (Stathis's first scene and the climax/finale), so most of the film consists of interactions between Veronica and one of the two men. Of the six other speaking roles, only Tawny (the woman Seth picks up at the bar after a falling-out with Veronica) gets more than one scene/sequence during a stretch of the second act, leaving the others with a handful of lines each. (In fact, two of them only appear in Veronica's Nightmare Sequence.) There are silent extras in scenes where it would be logical to have them. | |

LazyTown started with a cast of nine characters, without recurring or background characters. Every time the kids meet a "new" character, it's just one of Robbie's disguises, yet somehow they fall for his tricks every time.

The rest of the cast consists on unnamed kids (only during the daytime, so they play no important role) and the Ninjalinos (Night Ninja's Mooks). From the second half of Season 2 onwards, the cast was gradually expended with Armadylan, PJ Robot, the Wolfy kids, An Yu, Newton Star, Mothsuki, and Munki-Gu. | |

School-Live! has only five major characters - Yuki, Kurumi, Yuuri, Miki, and Megumi-sensei (plus the dog Taroumaru in the anime). Fitting, as they're trapped in their school during a Zombie Apocalypse and have no way of finding any other survivors. We briefly see other characters in flashbacks, and a man in a helicopter appears only to die when it crashes, but that's it. Also, Megumi is actually dead, only appearing as part of Yuki's delusions. Later in the manga, the girls encounter another batch of survivors when they're forced to leave the school, but they're gone at the end of the arc though one tags along with the girls. | |

The Trail to Oregon! has six actors: five play the main family while Joey Richter plays all of the other roles. This was in part because Team Starkid was simultaneously putting on Ani which had the majority of the group as its cast. Another show by the related group Tin Can Brothers, The Solve-It Squad Returns, has only five actors, with four (including Richter) as the four leads and Brian Rosenthal in Richter's position as "everyone else". | |

Exaggerated in I'll Return as the Rain: there's just a crow, some pigeons, Guda-Guda the snowman, and a little girl. | |

The Rose Flower and Joe (Bara no Hana to Joe) only features a puppy and a crow (later joined by two crows), while the rose is implied to be partially sentient since the dog is seen having a conversation with it. | |

Throw Momma from the Train has an In-Universe example. Larry criticizes Owen's story Murder At My Friend Harry's for being too hard to follow. Owen asks how that can be possible since there's only two characters and one of them is dead by the end of page two. | |
