LOVE LIFE
Episodes 1-3 premiere on Wednesday, May 27; New episodes on Thursdays
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 comes from creator Sam Boyd (IN A RELATIONSHIP) who serves as co-showrunner alongside Bridget Bedard (TRANSPARENT, RAMY). LOVE LIFE is produced by Lionsgate Television and Feigco Entertainment. The series will follow a different protagonist's quest for love each season, with each half-hour episode telling the story of one of their relationships. Anna Kendrick (PITCH PERFECT, Lionsgate's A SIMPLE FAVOR) stars in the first season along with Zoë Chao (DOWNHILL), Peter Vack (SOMEONE GREAT), Sasha Compere (MIRACLE WORKERS), and Hope Davis (FOR THE PEOPLE), with narration by Lesley Manville (PHANTOM THREAD).
Kendrick serves as an executive producer alongside Paul Feig (A SIMPLE FAVOR, BRIDESMAIDS), and Dan Magnante (SOMEONE GREAT). Sam Boyd, who wrote the pilot and directs, and co-showrunner Bridget Bedard also serve as executive producers.
