Anne Hathaway, Andrew Scott, John Slattery, and Tina Fey were some of the actors who starred in the first season of Modern Love, which is based on the New York Times column of the same name. Amazon announced a season 2 renewal in October 2019.
Actor Andrew Rannells (Black Monday, The Boys in the Band) is set to direct an episode of season 2, one that is based on a personal essay he wrote for the Times column. John Crowley (Brooklyn), Marta Cunningham (Insecure), and Jesse Peretz (GLOW) will also direct episodes, with Celine Held and Logan George (Topside) co-directing an episode.
Season 2 films in Albany, New York City, Schenectady, and Troy, New York, as well as Dublin, Ireland. The show will return to Amazon Prime Video sometime later this year.

"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."
Carney also writes, directs, and executive produces Modern Love.
