Max has made the shocking announcement that the beloved comedy series The Other Two is ending after season three, which wraps up this week.
The fan-fave series, starring Drew Tarver and Helene Yorke, originally launched on Comedy Central for season one and then moved to HBO Max for season two.
Series creators Chris Kelly and Sarah Schneider said in a statement that they always envisioned the show ending at this point, but a report is claiming there might be more to the story.

“It is bittersweet to say goodbye to the Dubek family after three seasons, but we always knew, both creatively and personally, that this was where we wanted to end their stories,” Kelly and Schneider said in a joint statement.
They continued, “And because we are quite literally out of ways to humiliate Drew Tarver, so what’s the point? We are deeply grateful to everyone (gays) who watched the show, to Max for giving us a second home and life, and to our writers, producers and crew, who gave so much of their time, talent, and passion to this show over the last 45ish years. And finally, an enormous thank you to Heléne, Drew, Molly, Case, Wanda, Josh, Brandon, and everyone in our brilliant cast (except Ken) who all made this show better than it had any right to be, and who we will miss terribly (especially Ken). Long live ChaseDreams. #chasedreams #globsaregay #feet.”
The Hollywood Reporter says that there have been HR complaints against the show’s creators.
The outlet reported that “Kelly and Schneider were the subject of complaints to human resources over behavior on set and in the writers room. These include allegations that Kelly verbally abused writers and overworked crew and claims that Schneider enabled his behavior.”
While they were formally cleared of the allegations, there was reportedly a period when they were not allowed on set.
One insider told the outlet, “There’s a lot of Chris and Sarah in the show … I think a lot of their frustration comes from not being on-camera. These are two people who started off as improvisers. This is a show about people who are hungering for fame. Their friends and colleagues became well-known. … It’s a lot like the show.”
Someone who worked on the show told THR, “As a team, they’ve been very destructive, but Chris is also mean to Sarah.” Another person added, “Sarah is in a toxic professional relationship with him.”
A lot of famous guest stars were involved in the third and final season.
