EXCLUSIVE: Here and Now alum Raymond Lee is set for a recurring role opposite Cristin Milioti on Made for Love, HBO Max’s 10-episode series based on Alissa Nutting’s novel of the same.

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 (Billy 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.
