A major theme being explored in television and cinema right now is how near-future technology will fundamentally alter reality and humanity. Whether it’s a comedy-drama like Amazon’s “Upload,” a straight-up horror film like 2020’s “The Invisible Man,” or anything in between, the entertainment industry is investing significant time in science fiction, exploring the infinite possibilities of how technology could fundamentally alter our world, for better or worse.
The story of HBO Max’s 2021 series “Made for Love,” which launched on April 1, 2021, is about breaking free from technological domination, as the protagonist does everything she can to get rid of a microchip implanted in her mind. The comedy stars Cristin Milioti as Hazel Green-Gogol, a lady who appears to be in an idyllic marriage with Billy Magnussen’s tech tycoon Byron Gogol.
When Hazel realizes that her entire marriage has been dictated by a chip Byron implanted in her mind to monitor and interpret her emotions, basically controlling every aspect of her life, she demands to be divorced. Of course, it’s not that simple, as even if she flees their home, Byron retains the chip that will keep them connected indefinitely – at least for the time being.
“Made for Love” performed exceptionally well with both audiences and critics, achieving a 94 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which explains why HBO Max renewed the series for a second season (via TVLine). For fans eager to learn more about Hazel’s tale, here is what we currently know about “Made for Love” Season 2.
When did Will make for Love Season 2 Be Released?
Given that the show was renewed in June 2021, a release date is difficult to pin down. Using “The Flight Attendant” as an example of a recent blockbuster drama that launched on HBO Max, the first season premiered on November 26, 2020, and the show was renewed for a second season in December 2020. (Deadline). Now halfway through 2021, it appears as though “The Flight Attendant” is on target to deliver Season 2 in early 2022. (TVLine). It will take approximately 14 to 16 months from the Season 2 announcement to the Season 2 release, probably a bit longer.
According to this timeline, Season 2 of “Made for Love” would premiere in late 2022. However, there are several significant differences between “The Flight Attendant” and “Made for Love” that could impact the timeline, the most significant of which is that “Made for Love” requires extensive post-production work to create the numerous impossible visuals that are central to Hazel’s story. The second season of “Made for Love” may not premiere until early 2023, depending on how long post-production takes. There is no way to know for certain, so fans should cross their fingers for a late 2022 release date.
Who Will Appear in Season 2 of Made for Love?
Milioti and Magnussen will undoubtedly reprise their roles as Hazel and Byron. Ray Romano as Herbert Green, Hazel’s father who was largely absent from her childhood, completes the major trio. After Hazel flees “the Hub,” as Byron’s home is affectionately referred to, she has no one to turn to but Herbert. He is a widower who is regarded as the town’s oddball owing to his relationship with his sex doll, Diane.
Other key characters who will almost certainly return include Herringbone (Dan Bakkedahl) and Tiffany (Noma Dumezweni), two members of Byron’s staff who gradually lose faith in the man’s methods and motivations, as well as Judiff (Kym Whitley), a nun who used to date Herbert and who will almost certainly play a significant role in the second season. Additionally, there is Liver (Augusto Aguilera), a man who works at the neighborhood bar that her father frequents, and whose good looks and charm allure Hazel to him despite his serious odor problem.
What Can We Expect From Made for Love Season 2?
After Season 1 of “Made for Love,” Hazel appears to be on the verge of obtaining the divorce she so dearly desires. Byron makes every effort to win her back, even dropping the news that Herb is terminally ill and promising the greatest therapy and care imaginable. While it appears as though Hazel rejects Byron’s offer and walks away, a final twist reveals that Hazel accepts the arrangement, drugging her father and transporting him to the Hub without his knowledge.
As Season 2 begins, Hazel has obtained her divorce, but she remains trapped in the same manner as previously. The microchip is still implanted in her skull, and her father is now intimately involved in Byron’s various schemes. Will Hazel be able to exploit Byron again, defeating him at his own game? It is ambiguous. She may want additional assistance from Judiff on the outside, who just happens to possess audio files that would heavily condemn Byron. “Made for Love” fans will have to wait until Season 2 to learn what happens to Hazel and Herbert at the Hub.
