‘Made for Love’ Season 2 Episode Guide: How Many Episodes in the HBO Max Comedy?

Has television felt a bit too predictable lately? Buckle up because Made for Love Season 2 is here to shake up your expectations. If Severance is a punk rock, tech-infused middle finger to corporate America, Made for Love is the same thing but for romance.

Based on Alissa Nutting’s 2017 novel of the same name, the HBO Max original follows Hazel Gogol (Cristin Milioti), a woman who marries the richest tech billionaire in the world. Initially, her life and marriage seem ideal. She wants for nothing and can go a simulated version of any place in the world in seconds. But the longer her marriage continues, the more it strips Hazel of any sense of freedom. This is the story about a woman who’s desperate to get out, and watching her break free is half the fun. Consider this your guide to Made for Love’s Season 2 episodes.

How to Watch Made for Love on HBO Max

Curious to see if Season 2 includes all the dolphin romance from Alissa Nutting’s original book? Of course you are. That’s why you need HBO Max, the only streaming service that’s home to Made for Love. At the moment the streaming service offers two plans to choose from. The plan with ads costs $9.99 a month, but the ad-free version costs $14.99 a month. Unfortunately, those are the only two options, and HBO Max doesn’t offer a free trial.

Will Made for Love Be on Hulu? Will Made for Love Be on Netflix?

No, Made for Love isn’t on Netflix or Hulu. Because it’s an HBO Max original, it can only be found on that streaming service.

Who Is in the Cast of Made for Love?

Cristin Milioti leads this cast as Hazel, the wife of Byron Gogol who has recently come to realize how much she hates her life. Prior to Season 2 of this dramedy, Milioti starred in Palm Springs, Fargo, and The Wolf of Wall Street. She was also the mother in How I Met Your Mother. Starring beside her as her genius oppressor is Billy Magnussen as Byron Gogol. Magnussen has starred in Game Night, Birth of the Dragon, Aladdin, The Many Saints of Newark, and No Time to Die. There is one other big name rounding out the main cast: Ray Romano. The Everybody Loves Raymond star and comedian plays Herbert, Hazel’s perpetually grumpy dad.

But this series’ great casting is only beginning. Dan Bakkedahl (Veep, Life in Pieces) stars as Lyle; Laurence Olivier award-winner Noma Dumezweni plays Dr. Fiffany Hodeck; Caleb Foote (The Kids Are Alright) portrays Byron’s assistant Bennett; and Sarunas J. Jackson (Insecure) plays the secretive and sexy Jay. This show even stars Patti Harrison, known for her stand up as well as her work in I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson and Together Together. Basically, if you have a soft spot for rising indie comedy stars tackling dramatic roles, Made for Love is your very specific jam.

Is There a Trailer for Made for Love Season 2?

There certainly is. If Hazel can stay married to Byron for 12 weeks, then her dad will be cured of cancer. Check out the delightfully twisted trailer here.
