Dan Bakkedahl and Augusto Aguilera have joined the cast of Made for Love, HBO Max’s 10-episode series based on Alissa Nutting’s novel of the same. The pair join fellow stars Cristin Milioti, Ray Romano, Billy Magnussen and Noma Dumezweni in the cast of the streamer’s straight-to-series adaptation.
The half-hour tragicomedy follows Hazel Green (Milioti), a thirtysomething woman on the run after 10 years in a suffocating marriage to an unstable, needy, possibly sociopathic tech CEO billionaire named Byron (Magnussen). Soon she discovers he already had implanted a revolutionary monitoring device – the Made for Love– in her brain, allowing him to track her, watch her, and know her thoughts and feelings as she tries to stay alive.
