In a surprising announcement, Max’s comedy series “The Other Two” will end with its ongoing Season 3, which premiered on May 4. Co-showrunners Chris Kelly and Sarah Schneider stated that ending the series was always part of their creative vision for the Dubek family’s story. They humorously mentioned being “out of ways to humiliate Drew Tarver.”
However, the cancellation comes amid reports of staff complaints against Kelly and Schneider regarding their conduct on set, leading to a temporary removal from production.
“The Other Two” revolves around millennial siblings Cary and Brooke Dubek, whose lives are overshadowed by the sudden fame of their younger brother, Chase Dreams. The show garnered a dedicated fan base and explored relevant themes such as queerness and mental health in the entertainment industry.
Despite the allegations, the co-creators maintain that the decision to cancel the show was solely driven by creative reasons. They expressed gratitude to the viewers, Max for providing a platform, and the cast and crew who dedicated their time and talent to the series. The statement also thanked the brilliant cast, excluding Ken Marino in jest, for their exceptional performances.
As the series finale approaches, fans are preparing to bid farewell to the Dubek family and the entertaining world of “The Other Two.”

Max’s executive vice president of original programming, Suzanna Makkos, commended the show’s impact on pop culture and praised co-creators Kelly and Schneider for their unique commentary on the entertainment industry. Although the series may have come to its natural conclusion, it leaves a lasting impression on its audience.
