Thomas Doherty Just Wants to “Make Cool Sh-t”
“I don’t know how they, or anyone, can perform a three-way relationship,” Thomas Doherty laughs. “One person is challenging enough!” We’re talking about his character on HBO Max’s Gossip Girl reboot, which has recently returned for its second season. Doherty plays Max Wolfe, a hedonistic, cynical, and damaged teenager who, after sleeping with his schoolteacher (and most men with abs on the Upper East Side), now finds himself in a mixed-gender throuple. Watching Max, Audrey (Emily Alyn Lind), and Aki (Evan Mock) trying to navigate this setup is just as messy as you’d look for.
The original Gossip Girl series, based on the best-selling books by Cecily von Ziegesar, aired on the CW Network between 2007 and 2012.

Thomas plays Max somewhere between the musical theatre campiness he summoned for the DCOMDescendants 2 — an aspect of his acting history he’s far from shy about — and the bruising coyness of his crooner personality in the Zoë Kravitz-starring High Fidelity series, a show which inspired a full NY Mag article about how hot he is.
Which, brings us to the core of Max’s plot — the throuple. After spending the first season in a love triangle, the latest follows Max, Aki and Audrey trying their hand at polyamory, in a depiction that has been celebrated for its nuance. We both reside in Brooklyn and are the identical age; I gesture out that while there’s no shortage of queer polyamorous people in our demographic, most 27 year olds I know aren’t mature enough for non-monogamy, let alone 17 year olds. He agrees. “I’m just not built that way, but some people are very evolved,” Thomas speak
