Love Life Season 2 Release Date, Plot, Cast, Trailer

What Is Love Life About?

Love Life, the first full-length scripted series to star Oscar® nominee Anna Kendrick, is about the journey from first love to last love, and how the people we’re with along the way make us into who we are when we finally end up with someone forever. This fresh take on a romantic comedy anthology series is from creator and co-showrunner Sam Boyd (In a Relationship) and is produced by Lionsgate Television and Feigco Entertainment.

Series was renewed for a second season in June 2020.

Season two of the Max Original LOVE LIFE, a romantic comedy anthology series from Lionsgate Television and Feigco Entertainment, focuses on “Marcus Watkins” (Emmy(R) nominee and executive producer (William Jackson Harper) as he comes out of a years-long relationship with the woman he thought was going to be his person. The rug pulled out from under him, he is plunged back into the search for the romantic fulfillment that he thought he had already found. The new season is currently in production in New York.

Keith David has been cast as the narrator for season two of the Max Original.

Punkie Johnson (“Saturday Night Live,” “Space Force”) as “Ida Watkins,” Marcus’s outspoken sister who is much more in tune with her authentic self than her brother is. Ida will say anything to anyone, often to hilarious effect.

Johnson is represented by 3 Arts Entertainment and WME.

Newly Announced Recurring Guest Stars:

Leslie Bibb (“Jupiter’s Legacy,” “Iron Man,” “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby”) as “Becca Evans,” a twice-divorced mother of two with whom Marcus enters into a purely sexual relationship, but like any such relationship, it soon becomes more complicated than that.

Bibb is represented by ICM and John Carrabino Management.

Jelks is represented by Innovative Artists and Red Letter Entertainment.

Arian Moayed (“Succession,” “Inventing Anna,” “Accidental Wolf”) as “Kian Parsa,” one of Marcus’s best friends, a tech millionaire who recently sold his company. But even though he’s rich now, and sometimes kind of a douche, Kian is still the same sweet, lovable guy Marcus has known forever.

Moayed is represented by Gersh, Kipperman Management and Schreck Rose Dapello Adams Berlin & Dunham.

Newly Announced Guest Stars:

Kimberly Elise (“Mosquito Coast,” “Ad Astra,” “The Manchurian Candidate”) as “Suzanné Hayward,” Mia’s (Jessica Williams) eccentric and often irresponsible mother. She has always leaned on her daughter, forcing Mia to grow up fast and learn how to keep things on the rails.

Elise is represented by Buchwald.

Ego Nwodim (“Saturday Night Live,” “Brockmire,” “Shrill”) as “Ola Adebayo,” a beautiful playwright who seems perfect on paper to Marcus. But the two get so serious so fast that both of them are forced to confront how right they really are for each other.

Nwodim is represented by CAA, Rise Management and Melissa Fox at Hansen.
