Inside "The Outs" Season 2

Chatting with the cast and creator about the critically acclaimed web-series' upcoming second season.

It's been a grueling 20+ months since we last checked in with Mitchell, Jack and Oona, the lovable leads of the highly-lauded web series The Outs.

A lot has changed since the series pilot, shot in 24 hours back in 2012, with only five people on set including creator/star Adam Goldman (Mitchell), Sasha Winters (Oona) and Hunter Canning (Jack).

"Adam and I met on the first day of college, sitting next to each other in Arthurian Romance Class at Bard College," Sasha Winters tells us during a break in filming the show's second season.

"And I was so attracted to the script right out the door," says Hunter Canning, who met Goldman at a Halloween party. "It felt so comfortable."

"I remember when he was courting you," Winters interjects.

"Stalking," adds Alan Cumming, who has joined our interview briefly while he begins stripping off his clothes having finished for the day (Cumming reprises his role as himself in the show's second season).

Once Goldman had assembled his cast, he used the $25,000 raised on Kickstarter to fund the series' seven-episode first season.

The series was immediately well-received by audiences and critics alike. Interview Magazine called "the most accurate and essentially human portrayal of young gay men today."

“What was funny to me was that a lot of comments were like ’I like that it’s just normal gay guys,’ which is an inherently offensive, bizarre statement,” says Goldman, "because when people say 'normal' what they mean a lot of the time is 'straight-acting' or 'not femme.' But my character Mitchell collects cardigans and listens to every version of "Moon River" and watches Cher doing West Side Story. So I think maybe what it speaks to is the fact that so many characters on television are so far in one direction that it becomes unrelatable because nobody is merely obsessed with Madonna. I'm obsessed with Madonna and a whole lot of other shit as well. I think the show is about modern relationships, hopefully that is relatable whether you are gay or straight. It's not about reducing gay life to any one thing."

Goldman had no plans to revisit The Outs until Vimeo approached him with the idea of reviving the show. "Two and a half years later, which is how much time has elapsed on the show as well, it feels like there's room to see who these people have grown into and where their relationships are," he says.

Season two is a whole different game in terms of scope, with 80+ cast and crew on set the day we dropped by. "It's a step up," Goldman says with a laugh, "but it's not all of the sudden, Michael Bay Presents: The Outs."

Check out the first peek at Season 2 of Vimeo's The Outs.

The Outs Season 2 will premiere sometime in the Spring of 2016.
