You remember that show. It was that weird, charming, occasionally frustrating "poly-rom-com" on Audience Network that basically tried to normalize a throuple in suburban Portland. It felt like a fever dream sometimes. One minute Jack and Emma are a bored married couple, the next they’re hiring a "graduate student/escort" named Izzy, and suddenly everyone is buying a bigger bed. Honestly, the You Me Her cast had a chemistry that kept the show alive way longer than the premise probably deserved.
If you’re like me, you probably binged all five seasons and then immediately wondered where these people went. It’s not like they all jumped onto Marvel movies immediately. Instead, the core trio and their quirky neighbors have carved out some pretty interesting niches in the industry. Let's get into the weeds of what Greg Poehler, Rachel Blanchard, and Priscilla Faia have been up to since the show wrapped up its final season in 2020.
The Trakars: Greg Poehler and Rachel Blanchard
Greg Poehler is an interesting guy. You probably know he’s Amy Poehler’s brother, but his career trajectory is wild. He was a lawyer in Sweden before he decided to pivot to TV with Welcome to Sweden. As Jack Trakar, he played that "anxious but well-meaning" suburban dad archetype perfectly. Since You Me Her ended, Greg hasn't been chasing every blockbuster in sight. He’s been leaning back into his Swedish roots and doing more writing and producing. He’s very active in the Nordic TV scene, which is honestly where some of the best prestige TV is happening anyway. He recently appeared in the series Morden i Sandhamn (The Sandhamn Murders). He seems to enjoy being a bit of a niche star rather than a Hollywood A-lister.
Then there’s Rachel Blanchard. She was Emma, the backbone of that throuple. If you’re a 90s kid, she’ll always be Cher from the Clueless TV show to you. But man, she was great in this. She brought a grounded, almost melancholy vibe to the comedy. Since the show ended, she’s been doing some high-profile work. You might have spotted her in The Summer I Turned Pretty on Amazon Prime, playing Susannah Fisher. It’s a very different role—much more "tragic matriarch" than "suburban polyamorous architect"—but it shows she’s got incredible range. She also had a stint in the Fargo TV series a while back. She’s one of those actors who just works constantly but stays under the radar.
The Breakout: Priscilla Faia
Izzy Silva was the wild card. Priscilla Faia had to play a character that was essentially a human wrecking ball entering a stable marriage. She did it with so much heart that you actually rooted for her.
Priscilla is a Canadian actress, and she’s stayed pretty loyal to the North. After the show, she’s been involved in various projects, including The Good Doctor. She’s also a big advocate for mental health and uses her platform to talk about things that actually matter, which is refreshing in an era of "lifestyle influencers." She hasn't landed that "next big lead" yet, but if you watch her work in the later seasons of You Me Her, you can see the technical growth. She went from being the "manic pixie dream girl" trope to a really complex dramatic lead.
The Supporting Players: Why They Mattered
A show about a throuple doesn’t work if the neighbors aren’t there to judge them or support them. The You Me Her cast was rounded out by some heavy hitters in the "hey, I recognize that person" category.
Melanie Papalia played Nina, Izzy’s roommate and the voice of reason. She’s been busy! You’ve probably seen her in Suits or the film The Den. She’s got this sharp, comedic timing that felt vital when the main trio got too bogged down in their own drama.
And we have to talk about Jarod Joseph (Andy) and Ennis Esmer (Dave). Jarod Joseph is a sci-fi staple. He was in The 100 for years. Since the show ended, he’s popped up in Superman & Lois. Ennis Esmer, meanwhile, is basically Canadian TV royalty. If a show is filmed in Vancouver or Toronto, Ennis is probably in it. He was a regular on Blindspot and has been doing a ton of voice work and hosting. He’s the guy who makes every scene better just by being there.
The Realism of the Casting
What made this cast work wasn't just that they were talented; it was that they looked like real people. Well, "TV real." They weren't overly polished. They felt like people you’d meet at a brewery in Portland. That was the secret sauce. Show creator John Scott Shepherd clearly wanted actors who could handle the "cringe" of the situation.
Most polyamorous representation in media is either hyper-sexualized or a complete joke. The cast managed to make it feel like a bureaucratic nightmare sometimes, which is probably more accurate to real life. Scheduling three people for dinner is hard. The actors conveyed that exhaustion brilliantly.

Where to Find the Cast Now: A Quick List
If you're looking to follow their current careers, here’s where to keep your eyes peeled:
- Rachel Blanchard: Watch The Summer I Turned Pretty on Prime Video. She is arguably the emotional heart of that show.
- Greg Poehler: Follow his social media for updates on Swedish productions. He’s often working behind the camera as much as in front of it.
- Priscilla Faia: Look for her in Canadian indie films and guest spots on major network procedurals.
- Ennis Esmer: Just turn on your TV. Seriously, he’s everywhere, from Children Ruin Everything to various hosting gigs.
The Legacy of the Show
You Me Her was the first "poly-rom-com," and while it had its flaws (the pacing in Season 4 was... a choice), it paved the way for more diverse relationship structures on screen. The cast bore the brunt of that experimentation. They had to navigate scenes that were intimate and awkward without making them feel exploitative.
It’s actually quite rare for a show on a smaller network like Audience to run for five full seasons. That only happens if the audience is deeply invested in the characters. People weren't tuning in for the "shock value" of a throuple after the first few episodes; they were tuning in because they liked Jack, Emma, and Izzy.
Why the Cast Stayed Close
From interviews and social media interactions over the years, it’s clear the core trio actually liked each other. You can't fake that kind of chemistry for 50 episodes. Priscilla and Rachel, in particular, often spoke about the collaborative nature of the set. They weren't just showing up and reading lines; they were helping shape how these women interacted in a way that wasn't just "fighting over a guy."

What You Should Do Next
If you’ve finished the series and you’re feeling that post-show void, don’t just re-watch it for the fourth time.
- Check out "Welcome to Sweden": If you liked Greg Poehler’s dry, slightly awkward humor, this is his passion project. It’s got cameos from Amy Poehler and even Will Ferrell.
- Follow the Cast on Social Media: Unlike some mega-stars, the You Me Her cast members are actually pretty normal online. Priscilla Faia and Jarod Joseph are particularly great follows for a look at the "working actor" life.
- Explore the "Hulu" Catalog: Since Audience Network shut down, the show moved around. In many regions, it’s now on Netflix or available for purchase. If you missed the final season because of the network transition, go find it. It wraps up the story in a way that’s actually satisfying, which is a rarity for comedies these ones.
The show might be over, but the careers of the people involved are still very much in flight. They took a gamble on a "taboo" subject and turned it into a long-running, heartfelt series. That’s a win in my book.
