“We’re so excited to bring a second season of this series to life, and give an opportunity to really shine a light on what matters most,” Carney said. “With so much uncertainty in our current world, these stories bring truth and love to people everywhere, and I’m so appreciative to be a part of making that happen.”
When will Modern Love return?
As yet, Amazon has not yet released a premiere date for the second season of Modern Love. However, it is expected to air later this year.
The first season premiered in October of 2019 with eight episodes that told various stories. The series was renewed by Amazon not long after Season 1 premiered.
Of course, with the current coronavirus pandemic, many TV shows have had their scheduled airtimes altered due to production delays. Now, with the new announcement of the Season 2 cast line-up, it seems likely that production will be underway shortly if it hasn’t already begun.
