HBO Max Comedy Starts Strong; Alexa & Katie Returns in June for Final Episodes

On the heels of its launch last week and the strong positive audience response to its first scripted original series Love Life, starring Oscar(R) nominee Anna Kendrick, HBO Max announced that the streaming platform is accelerating the release of the show's remaining episodes to give fans more of what they're watching. On Thursday, June 4, episodes 4, 5 and 6 will be available to binge on HBO Max, and on Thursday, June 11, the final four episodes of the first season will be added. Originally, the streamer had planned to release one new episode a week following its premiere with the first three episodes.

Love Life, a fresh take on a romantic comedy anthology series, features "an Emmy-worthy turn from Kendrick" (Decider, Joel Keller) and "should be the first thing you watch on the new streaming platform" (Glamour, Anna Moeslein). It has "a sharpness and a depth" (Vanity Fair, Richard Lawson), "the writing is sharp" (Uproxx, Kimberly Ricci), and star "Zoë Chao is a standout" (Entertainment Weekly, Kristen Baldwin).

All grown up. The final season of Alexa & Katie arrives June 13, only on Netflix! The multi-cam sitcom is back for the back-half 8 episodes of its third season of 16 total episodes. The series follows two lifelong best friends on their journey as they face not only the challenges of high school but also the lingering complexities of Alexa's battle with cancer. The comedy follows Paris Berelc (Alexa) and Isabel May (Katie) through their junior and senior years of high school as they learn that together, they can get through anything. Tiffani Thiessen, Eddie Shin, Jolie Jenkins, Emery Kelly, Finn Carr and Jack Griffo also star in the sitcom. The third season of Alexa & Katie will concludes featuring eight episodes to mark the end of the series as well.
