LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'The Other Two' Season 3 follows the story of two siblings in their 30s, Cary and Brooke, who struggle with the fame of their little brother Chase and their talk show host mother, Pat.

The comedy series, 'The Other Two', was co-created by 'Saturday Night Live' writers Chris Kelly and Sarah Schneider, who also serve as executive producers alongside Lorne Michaels, Andrew Singer, and Tony Hernandez. The show's producer is Daniel Hank, and it premiered on Comedy Central in 2019 before moving to HBO Max for the second season.

What is the plot of ‘The Other Two’ Season 3?

The trailer for Season 3 of 'The Other Two' was recently released, and it shows the siblings Brooke and Cary having trouble adapting to their lives after the pandemic, as well as how the halt in the world led to changes in the way the world works. While both siblings work on television and film projects, their methods for responding to their jobs are very different, resulting in them spiraling and questioning their existence.

Cary struggles with the minor fame as his first feature ‘The Night Nurse’ is about to premiere in the post-pandemic world while Brooke is struggling to find meaning in her entertainment industry job. The duo is still in the orbit of their pop star younger brother and television mogul mother, which worsens the situation. The season will also show how Chase Dreams navigates the career transition that comes after turning 18.

Kelly and Schnider had shared with Collider when asked about Season 3, "...we do know that we aren't going to pick up in real-time and then have the family live through the pandemic. There's not really a special pandemic season or anything. We just sort of thought that, because our show is so grounded in reality, and then the real world and comments on what's going on socially in pop culture and stuff... It felt sort of odd for us to continue in a parallel universe where there was no pandemic. So we thought that joke let us acknowledge it, and then we can now sort of move forward in time without having to do a whole season that's about it or experiencing it in real-time."

‘The Other Two’ will premiere on HBO Max on May 4, 2023.
