Hulu Renews Life & Beth for Season 2; HBO Max's Made for Love Season 2 Rollout

Life & Beth

Hulu has renewed Amy Schumer's Life & Beth for a 10-episode, second season. The critically acclaimed first season debuted on Hulu on Friday, March 18 and is certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes at 91%. Life & Beth is written, directed and executive produced by Amy Schumer and executive produced by Kevin Kane, Daniel Powell and Ryan McFaul. The series is produced by Endeavor Content. The series stars Schumer, Michael Cera, Susannah Flood, Violet Young, Kevin Kane, Yamaneika Saunders, Laura Benanti, Larry Owens, Michael Rapaport and LaVar Walker. In the series, Beth's (Schumer) life would look pretty great on paper. Impressive to everyone she grew up with. She makes a good living as a wine distributor. She's in a long term relationship with a successful guy and lives in Manhattan. When a sudden incident forces Beth to engage with her past, her life changes forever. Through flashbacks to her teen self, Beth starts to learn how she became who she is and who she wants to become. We'll go on her journey towards building a bigger, bolder and more authentic life. Learning to express herself and living in an intentional way. A trip down memory lane is a strong source of trauma, comedy and moving forward.


Made for Love

Season Two of the acclaimed Max Original series Made for Love returns with two new episodes Thursday, April 28. Two episodes will debut each week on subsequent Thursdays, with the final two installments of the eight-episode season debuting May 19. Based on the novel by Alissa Nutting, MADE FOR LOVE is a poignantly humorous story of modern love and divorce. Season One followed Hazel Green (Cristin Milioti), a thirty-something woman on the run after ten years in a suffocating marriage to tech billionaire Byron Gogol (Billy Magnussen), as smart as he is insufferable. After discovering that her husband implanted a monitoring device – the Made for Love chip – in her brain, allowing him to track her, watch her and know her "emotional data," Hazel fled to her desert hometown to take refuge with her outcast father Herbert (Ray Romano) and his synthetic partner, Diane. In the second season, in order to save her father’s life, Hazel returns to the Hub, Byron’s high-tech palace. But once inside, she and Byron both become ensnared by Gogol’s newest revolutionary (and dangerous) technology.

Season two series regulars: Cristin Milioti (as Hazel Green), Billy Magnussen (as Byron Gogol), Ray Romano (as Herbert Green), Dan Bakkendahl (as Herringbone), Noma Dumezweni (as Fiffany), Caleb Foote (as Bennett), Sarunas J. Jackson (as Jay).
