Second Season Pickup Comes Just One Week
After Successful Debut on Prime Video
Amazon Studios Also Announces New Overall
Deal with Modern Love executive producer John Carney
(NASDAQ: AMZN) — Amazon Prime Video announced today that it has
ordered a second season of the half-hour romantic anthology series
Modern Love. Modern Love, which debuted globally on Prime
Video on October 18, is inspired by the popular The New York Times
column of the same name. The series explores love in all of its
complicated and beautiful forms, as each standalone episode brings
some of the column’s most beloved stories to life with a stellar
cast. Season two of Modern Love will premiere on Prime Video in
2020 in more than 200 countries and territories worldwide.
Amazon Studios today also announced a new overall deal with John
Carney (Once, Sing Street), the writer, director and executive
producer of Modern Love.
“Since its debut just last week, the reaction to Modern Love
from viewers has been incredible. It’s a show with so much emotion
and warmth – every episode touches the heart in a different way,”
said Jennifer Salke, Head of Amazon Studios. “We’re so excited
we’ll be able to bring our global Prime Video customers more of the
beautiful stories of romance, friendship, and family from Modern
Love.”
“Being given a green light to proceed with Modern Love is a
great opportunity for us to continue to tell stories of love, while
opening up the series into new cities and worlds. The possibilities
are truly endless,” said Carney. “Subsequent seasons can really
branch out and dig deep into what it means to love in this
complicated world. It’s incredible news for everyone involved in
the series, and we are dizzy with possibilities moving
forward.”
Said Daniel Jones, editor of the “Modern Love” column, The New
York Times: “I couldn't be prouder of this show, and the global
outpouring of emotion has frankly blown me away. John Carney
managed to honor the complexity of the original column while making
a series that’s beautiful, upbeat and hopeful. I can't wait to get
to work on Season 2.”
Among the first season stars are Jane Alexander (“The Good
Fight”), Sofia Boutella (“Kingsman: The Secret Service”), Gary Carr
(“The Deuce,” “Downton Abbey”), Olivia Cooke (“Ready Player One”),
Emmy Award nominee Brandon Victor Dixon (“Power”), Emmy Award
winner Tina Fey (“30 Rock”), Tony Award winner John Gallagher, Jr.
(“The Newsroom”), Academy Award nominee Andy Garcia
(“Ocean’s Eleven”), Emmy Award winner Julia Garner (“Ozark”),
