Here comes HBO Max! The streaming service has been teased for months but today, via a bunch of new trailers that, at least to me look incredibly lame, we know it’ll finally launch on May 27th. And because every new subscription plan needs a big draw, meaning original content you can’t get anywhere else, we have the trailer for Anna Kendrick and Paul Feig’s upcoming series, Love Life.
So what’s the hook of Love Life? Well…it’s basically High Fidelity. Kendrick plays a woman looking for the love of her life, but also navigating the baggage of her past relationships. The hook here is Kendrick in her first scripted series, along with Feig (Bridesmaids, Spy, A Simple Favor) as exec-producer. Acting as showrunner is series creator Sam Boyd, who previously directed the 2018 drama In a Relationship. Also in the cast are the suddenly-ubiquitous Zoe Chao, along with Scoot McNairy, Sasha Compère, and Peter Vack.
At least this looks better than Kendrick’s other streaming series, the Quibi comedy Dummy where she hangs out with a sex doll.
Love Life will be a launch title for HBO Max, so look for it on May 27th. Watch the trailer below, as well as trailers for other shows coming to the streamer.
