Hinkler twins, Elizabeth and Emily, on being 'each other's biggest support' and volunteering in the LGBTQIA community

Twin sisters Emily and Elizabeth Hinkler, starred in the Awesomeness TV series as siblings - Tessa and Molly – two deadpan, genderqueer, fringe thespians who get in fights
PUBLISHED JAN 4, 2019

YouTube premium brought to us a hilarious, compact, almost romantic comedy of sorts in the form of 'Overthinking With Kat and June' not so long ago. And, within just days of release, two rising stars managed to shine brightly through the series, though they played the role of the lead character's best friends.

Twin sisters Emily Hinkler and Elizabeth Hinkler, starred in the Awesomeness TV series as siblings - Tessa and Molly – two deadpan, genderqueer, fringe thespians who get in fights. Tessa and Molly, who happen to be the titular Kat's best friends, keep busy constantly strategizing brilliant yet failure-prone plans and the characters brilliantly brought out the acting expertise of the Hinkler twins.

They are sharp, tasteful, and have impeccable timing to their comedy, adding to the all-around comic quotient of the new series. But that shouldn't be surprising, because the twins - individually, as well - are no strangers to stealing the show in some of the significant projects of our times.
