Picked up straight to series in June 2019, Made for Love is based on the novel by Alissa Nutting, who alongside Lee, will serve as co-showrunner for season two.
“We wrote an ending that I hope the audience will want to see what’s next,” Lee told THR podcast TV’s Top 5 in an interview last month.
Lee, who joined the series as a consultant before being elevated to showrunner, exec produces alongside Nutting, Somerville, Dean Bakopoulos, Liza Chasin and SJ Clarkson.
Made for Love continues a strong scripted comedy track record at HBO Max, with the streamer’s first three half-hour series — including Love Life and Generation — all scoring additional episodes.
