Channel 4 Picks Up Dark Sci-Fi Dramedy ‘Made For Love’ For The UK
Channel 4 has picked up the UK broadcast right to ‘Made For Love‘, a Black Mirror-esque comedy-drama, based on the novel by Alissa Nutting which originally ran for two seasons on HBO Max in the USA.
‘Made For Love’ is a cynically poignant story of love and divorce following Hazel Green (Cristin Milioti), a thirty-something woman on the run after ten years in a suffocating marriage to Byron Gogol (Billy Magnussen), a controlling tech billionaire. Soon she discovers that her husband has implanted a monitoring device – the Made for Love chip – in her brain, allowing him to track her, watch her, and know her “emotional data” as she tries to regain her independence. Through the chip, Byron’s able to watch Hazel’s every move as she flees to her desert hometown to take refuge with her ageing widower father Herbert (Ray Romano) and his synthetic partner, Diane.
In addition to Milioti, Magnussen and Romano, the series stars Dan Bakkedahl, Noma Dumezweni, Augusto Aguilera and Caleb Foote.
The show originally aired on HBO Max in the USA, prior to the streaming service being rebranded MAX. The show became an unfortunate casualty of the corporate merger which formed Warner Bros. Discovery and was cancelled after two seasons,
‘Made For Love’ was executive produced by Christina Lee, Alissa Nutting, Patrick Somerville, Dean Bakopoulos, Liza Chasin and SJ Clarkson. Stephanie Laing was a Co-EP and directed a number of season one episodes alongside Alethea Jones who directed two episodes. Christina Lee was the season one showrunner.
We don’t yet know exactly when ‘Made For Love‘ will premiere on Channel 4 in the UK, however, it is shown as “coming soon” on their website. If you want to keep track of this or any other show, you can add them via our Never Miss system, and you’ll be notified when it gets a UK premiere date.
