It’s not easy being the siblings of a famous brother or children of a powerful talk-show host mother. That’s demonstrated on multiple levels in HBO Max comedy “The Other Two,” set to premiere its third season on May 4. This week, the streamer released a trailer for the season, which sees Brooke (played by Heléne Yorke) and Cary (Drew Tarver) still coping with being the forgotten family members, even as they tackle new opportunities in the entertainment world. The 10-episode season also features Molly Shannon as their mother, Case Walker as their more successful younger brother, Ken Marino, Josh Segarra, Wanda Sykes, and Brandon Scott Jones.
