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.

· 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!!! It has been overwhelming in the best way to see our show resonate with so many people, and we are incredibly grateful to HBO Max for giving us the opportunity to spend another season with this amazing cast and crew.”

SAMANTHA AND JAY DISCOVER THE RUNDOWN COUNTRY ESTATE THEY’RE CONVERTING TO A BED & BREAKFAST IS INHABITED BY THE MANY SPIRITS OF DECEASED RESIDENTS WHO NOW CALL IT HOME, ON THE SPECIAL ONE-HOUR SERIES PREMIERE OF “GHOSTS,” THURSDAY, OCT. 7, 9:01-10:00 PM
Rose McIver, Utkarsh Ambudkar, Brandon Scott Jones, Richie Moriarty,
Danielle Pinnock, Asher Grodman, Román Zaragoza, Sheila Carrasco,
Rebecca Wisocky and Devan Chandler Long Star
One-Hour Premiere Will Be Seamless with Back-to-Back Episodes
“Pilot”/“Hello!” – Samantha and Jay throw both caution and money to the wind when they decide to convert a rundown country estate they inherited into a bed & breakfast – only to find it’s inhabited by the many opinionated spirits of deceased residents who now call it home. Also, when Sam thinks she’s crazy because she continues to see the ghosts of Woodstone Manor, she tries to ignore them, making them even more determined to get her to acknowledge they’re real, on the special one-hour series premiere of the new CBS Original comedy GHOSTS, Thursday, Oct. 7 (9:01-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+. The one-hour premiere will be seamless with back-to-back episodes.
Rose McIver, Utkarsh Ambudkar, Brandon Scott Jones, Richie Moriarty, Danielle Pinnock, Asher Grodman, Román Zaragoza, Sheila Carrasco, Rebecca Wisocky and Devan Chandler Long star.
The departed souls are a close-knit, eclectic group that includes a saucy Prohibition-era lounge singer; a pompous 1700s militiaman; a ‘60s hippie fond of hallucinogens; an overly upbeat ‘80s scout troop leader; a cod-obsessed Viking explorer from 1009; a slick ‘90s finance bro; a sarcastic and witty native from the 1500s; and a society woman and wife of an 1800s robber baron who is Samantha’s ancestor, to name a few. If the spirits were anxious about the commotion a renovation and B&B will create in their home, it’s nothing compared to when they realize Samantha is the first live person who can see and hear them.
