The creators of the HBO Max comedy series The Other Two, Chris Kelly and Sarah Schneider, have spoken out about their decision to end the show after three seasons.
In a joint statement, Kelly and Schneider said that they felt they had “always known” how they wanted the show to end, and that they were “deeply grateful” to the fans, cast, and crew who had supported the show over the years.
The show follows the lives of two siblings, Brooke and Cary Dubek, as they try to navigate their way through the entertainment industry. The show has been praised for its sharp humor and its relatable portrayal of the challenges of being young and trying to make it in Hollywood.
Kelly and Schneider said that they were “quite literally out of ways to humiliate Drew Tarver,” who plays Cary Dubek, so they decided it was time to end the show. They also said that they wanted to end the show on a high note, and that they felt they had accomplished that with the season three finale.
The decision to end The Other Two has been met with mixed reactions from fans. Some fans have expressed disappointment, while others have said that they understand the creators’ decision.
The show’s cancellation comes amid the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike, which has led to the delay or cancellation of several TV shows. It is unclear whether The Other Two would have been renewed for a fourth season if the strike had not occurred.
Despite the cancellation, Kelly and Schneider said that they were “excited” to see what the future holds for them, and that they were “looking forward to working on new projects.”
