It’s the end of the road forThe Other Twoon Max as the streamer has announced the show will conclude with the ongoing Season 3. Season 3 recently premiered on the platform on May 4, and is set tobring its story to a conclusionwith the series finale which airs on the platform tomorrow. The comedy series which originally premiered on Comedy Central in January 2019 revolves around the lives of two millennial siblings, Cary and Brooke Dubek, whose lives are overshadowed by the sudden fame of their younger brother, Chase Dreams. Chase becomes an overnight sensation after his viral video catapults him to pop star stardom.
According toThe Hollywood Reporter,The Other Two’scancelation comes amidst various staff complaints involving the show’s creators and showrunnersChris KellyandSarah Schneiderduring the production. Per an insider report, complaints were made against Kelly and Schneider regarding their conduct on set and in the writers' room. Allegations included verbal abuse and overworking the crew, with claims that Schneider enabled Kelly’s behavior. This prompted a formal investigation by production, leading to Kelly and Schneider’s temporary removal from the set. They were later absolved of wrongdoing and were both allowed to return to production.
Despite the allegations, the show’s creators insist that the decision to cancel the show was solely a creative one. In a joint statement addressing the show’s conclusion withSeason 3, they said: “It is bittersweet to say goodbye to the Dubek family after three seasons, but we always knew, both creatively and personally, that this was where we wanted to end their stories.” Their statement further reads:
“And because we are quite literally out of ways to humiliate Drew Tarver, so what’s the point? We are deeply grateful to everyone (gays) who watched the show, to Max for giving us a second home and life, and to our writers, producers, and crew, who gave so much of their time, talent, and passion to this show over the last 45ish years. And finally, an enormous thank you to Heléne, Drew, Molly, Case, Wanda, Josh, Brandon, and everyone in our brilliant cast (except Ken) who all made this show better than it had any right to be, and who we will miss terribly (especially Ken). Long live ChaseDreams. #chasedreams #globsaregay #feet.”
