With their pop star brother, ChaseDreams (Case Walker), officially entering retirement at the ripe old age of fourteen, Brooke and Cary (Heléne Yorke and Drew Tarver) must now contend with a new famous family member: their 53-year-old mother Pat (Molly Shannon), and her eponymous daytime talk show. Humiliated at being The Other Two yet again, they double down and make it their mission not to be.

Guest stars include Ali Ahn, James Anderson, Justin Bartha, Jordana Brewster, Alessia Cara, Marcia DeBonis, Andrew Keenan-Bolger, Ryan Farrell, Jimmy Fowlie, Noah Galvin, Zosia Mamet, Debi Mazar, Derek Peth, Alison Rich, Tuc Watkins, Bowen Yang and Ian Ziering.
- Washington Post hailed the series as “the funniest show on TV” while Entertainment Weekly called it a “searing showbiz satire with blithe brilliance.” ”Variety praised it for “setting the new standard for TV comedy right now” with its “sharpness” and “soulfulness.”
- THE OTHER TWO has ranked among HBO Max’s most popular series since the release of season two and has seen steady growth each week as new episodes have been released.
- Suzanna Makkos, EVP, Original Comedy and Adult Animation, HBO Max quote: “Chris Kelly and Sarah Schneider have created a sharp and poignant family story that is willing to show its characters' imperfections while making us laugh hysterically. It has been a true joy to welcome them and the cast to HBO Max, and I look forward to keeping them on hold with Brooke for the many conference calls to come next season.”
- Chris Kelly and Sarah Schneider, Creators, Writers and Executive producers quote: "We are deeply sickened to see HBO Max throw their support behind a show with so many foot jokes, and absolutely thrilled that it's ours. To everyone who watched, texted, posted, told their friends to watch — thank you!!!
