Josh Kelly – UnREAL

By: Lisa Steinberg

Q) What are the recent projects that you are working on?

A) We didn’t really know when we would be shooting “UnREAL” Season Two so it was kind of difficult to time out different work. We were also looking for reoccurring roles and cool roles that were different from Jeremy. So, there isn’t anything really coming up.

Q) Where we pick up with Jeremy and the new season of “UnREAL?”

A) He is in the aftermath of heartache so he is pretty bummed in Season Two. He is acting like a little kid around Rachel (Shiri Appleby) and not being very mature about the relationship.

Q) What is his relationship like at work with Rachel?

A) I don’t think he knows what he is doing. He is kind of just lashing out and trying to be around her. That’s why he got involved with her mother at the end, talking to her in order to be a part of her life in some way. But I don’t think he’s really thinking through what he’s doing. He’s just kind of acting out emotionally.

Q) How do stakes get raised this season while working on “Everlasting?”

A) Everyone is kind of at war with each other. It’s really fascinating and then it kind of turns into boys versus girls at some point. Chet (Craig Bierko) and Jeremy kind of team up and try to go the powerhouse of Quinn (Constance Zimmer) and Rachel. I can’t imagine that turning out well…

Q) We are adding a new bachelor this season with BJ Britt. How will this season be different with his new addition?

A) Well, it’s a different dynamic. He is in a different situation than Adam Cromwell (Freddie Stroma). Darius (B.J. Britt) is trying to give himself a social facelift, but it is also different because he’s a professional athlete. He’s on there for a different reason, the first black suitor on a dating show. It’s pretty cool. It’s similar, but also different. It’s still “Everlasting.”

Q) What was it like for everyone to reuniting for Season Two?

A) It was fun! It was really fun. It was different because the first season we shot the pilot and then went through the whole reshooting of the first episode. So, we had gotten to know each other better. This season it was fascinating having the new cast along with us oldtimers. It was a lot of fun. It was a fun way to make the series. It really kind of invigorates the series every season (hopefully).

Q) Will you be doing any of your special tweet parties?

A) I think we’re planning on doing that. We’ll be heading to Shiri’s for the premiere to have a tweet party.

Q) Is there anything else about this season or Jeremy that you want to share with fans?

A) It’s exciting and gets pretty dark. Episode five is pretty crazy! Look forward to that…
