Wolfe and Kellett both work together on the award-winning family sitcom One Day at a Time which was renewed by Netflix for a third season earlier this year. The show is a hilarious and heartfelt comedy that follows three generations of a Cuban-American family sometimes-reluctantly cohabitating and navigating the ups and downs of life.
