There’s still a perception that web series are the preserve of fame-hungry wannabes making vaguely unwatchable rubbish in their basements. However, if you’ve caught any of the web series we’ve posted here, you’ll know there are some great ones out there.
These People ups the ante even further, with an incredible cast of well-known faces and an Oscar-winner who’s helped write some of the scripts. Jim Rash is best known to many Dean Pelton in Community, but he also won an Academy Award for co-writing The Descendants – and now he’s helped pen two episodes of These People alongside Zac Hug (who co-created These People with Jamie Heinrich), including one which picked up a gong at the Indie Series Awards.
The third season of the award-winning and LGBT-inclusive show starts releasing episodes on April 30th, so it’s a perfect time to catch up on Season’s 1 & 2!
If you need a bit of a primer, here’s some info from the show’s website on the highly dysfunctional world of the Bennet family: ‘Todd Bennet (Zac Hug): high strung, unable to keep his boyfriend Josh (Jeremy Glazer) around, with his heart in the right place. The twins, Chuck and Simon (Cameron Miller-Desart): one’s had some mental health issues, the other owns six restaurants. And Jenny (Claire Downs): an actress, their little sister, with a lot of insane ideas. On their own, they’re pretty messy. Together, they’re much worse. And then there’s mom (Carolyn Hennesy). And now, a gossip columnist (Jim Rash), Jenny’s agent (Mele Ihara), and a mean publicist named Ann Rice (Elizabeth Boykewich) take on Jenny’s beard boyfriend (Ben Baur) and the outlying Bennets: Chuck’s wife, Marilyn (Amanda Walsh) and their daughter, Adelaide (Leigh Epstein). All this under the watchful eye of Dr. Maher (Keith Powell) and his wife, Dr. Maher (Jill Knox-Powell).’
Things get even more complicated in the upcoming Season 3, which premiered its first episode live a couple of days ago, ahead of new, regular episodes from April 30th.
Take a look at These People Seasons 1 & 2 below, along with teasers for Season 3.
