Schneider has nixed the idea—for now—but her conversations with Kelly led to genuine insights about what they both wanted out of life, and how much they were willing to sacrifice for it. Now, they just had to get Cary and Brooke to the same place in their own ways. “It sucks when you’ve learned all these lessons and worked through them, but, of course, the characters haven’t,” Kelly says.
Below, Kelly and Schneider walk Vogue through what viewers can expect from Season 3 of The Other Two.
Vogue: Where am I catching you both?
Sarah Schneider: Our home we share in Brooklyn. We’re in different rooms.
Tell me how you both met and how the idea of the show came about.
Chris Kelly: We met at Saturday Night Live in 2011, and then were kind of there for six years together. The idea for the show came about in our last-ish year. We came up with the idea for the show and sold the pilot originally to Comedy Central, and when we went to series is when we left [SNL] to do it.
The first season aired on Comedy Central and then, in 2021, the second season jumped to HBO Max. Streaming can be cut-throat when it comes to show renewals and long-term commitments. What do you think helped The Other Two make the cut?
C.K.: I have no idea. Every single thing about the industry right now is absolutely bonkers and to try to make heads or tails of anything is pointless. We’re just trying to keep our heads down and focus on trying to make a show. And God bless everything happening right now.
S.S.: Yeah, I think we’re not even enough on the radar for people to be like, Canceling this will make some good savings! We’re just chucking along. Like Chris said, all we can do is believe in what we’re making. It’s really disheartening to hear that so much work and content is being shelved. And all of these people are being—
C.K.: Fucked!
S.S.: Yes, for lack of a better word.
What can viewers expect from Season 3?
C.K.: The first two seasons are Brooke and Cary trying to make it. They’re trying to win, they’re trying to succeed. They’re doing obvious things and you understand what they’re trying to do. Now Brooke and Cary have both “made it.” They both have the things they’ve been looking for, so their struggle is now internal. They’re in their own heads and wondering, I’ve been trying for this thing for so long, but do I actually like it? Is it meaningful? I’m finally where I wanted to be, but am I where I wanted to be? A lot of their stress is in their mind and body and we try externalizing that in arch, stupid ways. Someone turns invisible, there’s a black and white episode. I think this season is a little bigger and weirder.
