According to The Hollywood Reporter , series creator John Carney has inked an overall deal with the studio for creating and developing original content.
“Being given a green light to proceed with ‘Modern Love’ is a great opportunity for us to continue to tell stories of love, while opening up the series into new cities and worlds. The possibilities are truly endless,” Carney said.
