Kristin's son, Boyd, will also have a new face to go with the character, with newcomer Flynn Morrison stepping into the role, which was played by twin toddlers Luke and Evan Kruntchev during the series' first season.

The part was played on a recurring basis during the series' first season by Jonas Brothers singer Nick Jonas, who recently revealed that he is in the running for a spot on the judges' panel of "American Idol."

    "Last Man Standing" premieres its second season Friday, Nov. 2 at 8 p.m. EW.com first reported the "Last Man Standing" recastings.
