Ashley and Mary-Kate they ain't. In fact, television has never seen twins like Jacob and Joshua Miller, two identical twin brothers from Montana who make up the pop/rock group Nemesis. On the new Logo reality series "Jacob & Joshua: Nemesis Rising" premiering Oct. 16, the twins will not only chronicle their move to Los Angeles for the launch their music careers but will also follow their lives as they come out publicly as gay artists.

Joshua is described as a free spirit, a party boy and exceedingly single while Jacob is focused, driven and involved in a long-term relationship.  As singers the duo harmonize perfectly with Jacob leaning more toward pop and Joshua a little more toward rock n’ roll. The series opens with the twins at a crossroads. They need a hit record or they face being dropped from their label. Breaking new ground in the pop music world, the twins will be marketed as openly gay artists necessitating their “coming out� to their family, friends and fans.

Friends and fans are one thing, family is another. The brothers were raised as Jehovah’s Witnesses and coming out would mean the church will instruct their parents never speak with their sons again. Complicating matters further is that while Jacob is extremely confident about the decision to come out personally and professionally, Joshua vacillates, worried about the potential damage to their career and the potential loss of their family.

Logo President Brian Graden said the show will "prove living a dream and being true to one's self are not mutually exclusive.�
