In season 2, I drew upon an experience I had in sixth grade with a breakup– because Jeremy’s acting very childish, and I remembered a time where I acted a little stupid when a girl broke up with me to show her how much she had hurt me. They’re both the same person, it’s just he’s heartbroken. I know these are two extremes - the pushover Jeremy in the first season and the vengeful person he is now. They could have kept it as, “Aw Jeremy, he really loves her.” But life is complicated.Īfter the end of season one, I was like, “Well if they keep me on this show I’m definitely going to have issues with Rachel for sure.” It was cool that they cared enough to do that. I think most actors want to have layers to their characters and on a show where the two female leads are the primary focus of the show, it’s exciting to get to develop your character more. How did that concept help shape your character? In the new season, you’re clearly on a mission to destroy Rachel. Inverse spoke with Kelly by phone to discuss his new role as the vengeful Jeremy, his personal opinions about reality TV, and how his time in the army influenced his career as an actor. Whereas Jeremy used to be a disposable prop in Rachel’s greater plan, this new season of UnREAL adds a gripping story arc by padding his character with emotional depth and relatable motives. The second season, which premiered on June 6, finds Quinn and Rachel officially in control of Everlasting… while Jeremy stays on board just so he can degrade Rachel’s character. Until the second season, of course.Īt the end of the first season, Jeremy becomes hell-bent on getting revenge when Rachel breaks his heart and humiliates him for the last time. He’s still set on being with her – despite the number of times she’s broken him. To give Rachel an emotional backstory, Josh Kelly’s role as Rachel’s on-again, off-again boyfriend Jeremy, a camera man for Everlasting, is rooted in innocence. The scripted drama that unfolds behind the scenes of a dating competition show Everlasting (modeled after real shows like The Bachelor) chronicles the dispassionate efforts of line producer Rachel Goldberg (Shiri Appleby) and show runner Quinn King (Constance Zimmer) – to manipulate the contestants and get the dramatic footage they need for good ratings. The first season of Lifetime’s UnREAL showcased the unsparing agendas of expert manipulators: reality tv producers.
