More than two dozen actors — including Game of Thrones star Kit Harrington and Judas and the Black Messiah breakout Dominique Fishback — have joined the cast of Amazon’s Modern Love anthology.
Based on the New York Times column of the same name, season two of Modern Love filmed in New York City, Albany, Troy and Schenectady, New York, and Dublin and is set to air later this year on Amazon’s Prime Video.
The cast for the season also includes Gbenga Akinnagbe, Susan Blackwell, Lucy Boynton, Tom Burke, Zoe Chao, Maria Dizzia, Minnie Driver, Grace Edwards, Kathryn Gallagher, Garrett Hedlund, Telci Huynh, Nikki M. James, Aparna Nancherla, Larry Owens, Zane Pais, Anna Paquin, Isaac Powell, Ben Rappaport, Milan Ray, Jack Reynor, Miranda Richardson, Marquis Rodriguez, James Scully, Zuzanna Szadkowski, Lulu Wilson, Don Wycherley and Jeena Yi.
“We’re so excited to bring a second season of this series to life, and give an opportunity to really shine a light on what matters most,” said showrunner John Carney. “With so much uncertainty in our current world, these stories bring truth and love to people everywhere, and I’m so appreciative to be a part of making that happen.”
Directors for season two include Carney, John Crowley (Brooklyn), Marta Cunningham (Insecure), Jesse Peretz (Girls), the duo of Celine Held and Logan George, and Andrew Rannells (Black Monday), who’s helming an episode based on a Modern Love essay he wrote for the Times.
Amazon Studios, Storied Media Group, Likely Story and The New York Times produce Modern Love. Carney exec produces with Todd Hoffman, Trish Hofmann, Anthony Bregman and the Times‘ Caitlin Roper and Choire Sicha. Sean Fogel serves as producer; Daniel Jones, editor of the Modern Love column, is co-producer.
