‘Love Life’ Season 2 on HBO Max: What Time, Cast, and More

Halloween may be on the horizon, but love is in the air. This week marks the return of Love Life, HBO Max’s comedy-drama about how complicated, demoralizing, confusing, and yet oddly heart-warming it is to find love. And it’s back with a season about one emotionally distanced guy and group of friends who are unafraid to call him out on his BS.

Created by Sam Boyd, each season of Love Life tells the love story of a different character finding the one…eventually. But before it gets to their happily-ever-after, the series joyfully depicts their misplaced romantic highs and lows. It’s a lovely little show that serves as a perfect chaser to being scared out of your mind. Wondering how you can watch Love Life Season 2? Here’s everything you need to know.

How to Watch Love Life Season 2

Because Love Life is an HBO Max original, HBO Max is the only way to watch it. Thankfully, it’s easy to get access to this particular streaming service. If you’re OK with ads, the supped up version of HBO offers a plan for $9.99 a month. That plan goes down to $99.99 a year if you go with the annual plan. But if you hate ads, you only have to pay a little bit more. The ad-free version of HBO Max costs $14.99 a month, or $149.99 a year. Just like with the ads-included plan, signing up for a whole year instead of on a monthly basis will save you some dough.

Who’s in Love Life Season 2’s Cast?

A new season means a new cast for this romantic anthology series. William Jackson Harper (The Good Place) stars as Marcus Watkins, our leading man looking for love. He will be joined on his journey by Jessica Williams (The Daily Show), Christopher Powell (Detroiters), Punkie Johnson (Saturday Night Live), Leslie Bibb (Popular, Iron Man), John Earl Jelks (True Detective), Arian Moayed (Succession), and Ego Nwodim (Saturday Night Live). Additionally, Keith David (There’s Something About Mary, Community) will serve as this season’s narrator. Basically? A ton of very funny people are about to get their chance to play some more emotional roles.

Do I Need to Watch Season 1 Before Season 2? What Happened in Love Life Season 1?

Say you’re a big fan of William Jackson Harper and his surprise abs, but you can take or leave Anna Kendrick. Don’t worry: you can still watch Love Life Season 2. Each season of the HBO Max comedy follows a different person as they search for love. As long as you love love and comedy, you’re golden.

That being said, fans of Love Life Season 1 will be pleasantly surprised by this new installment. Without giving anything away, Anna Kendrick’s Darby makes a couple of cameos throughout the season. It just goes to show you that we’re all on our own journey to find a soulmate.
