It looks like OWN has fallen out of love. Deadline reports the network has cancelled Love Is ___ after only one season.
From Mara Brock Akil and Salim Akil, the romantic drama explores how a modern “power couple” in “Black Hollywood” balances their professional, personal, and family lives. The cast includes Michele Weaver, Will Catlett, Idara Victor, Tyrone Brown, Kadeem Hardison, Yootha Wong-Loi-Sing, and Lana Young.
According to Deadline, OWN has cancelled Love Is ___ amid allegations of domestic violence against executive producer Salim Akil. The series’ first season earned fair ratings for a cable drama, averaging a .26 in the 18-49 demo and 903,000 viewers.
From OWN:
OWN has decided not to move forward with the second season of Love Is _ . The TV memoir was inspired by the real-life love story of married producers Mara Brock Akil and Salim Akil.”

I Loved the show Love Is. It was actually a refreshing love story compared to some of the other shows. I was waiting for the second season to come on. I am very disappointed that it is not coming back for a second season. UGH

The show reminds us of ourselves. We felt connection with the couple. Oh please bring it back, we love it!
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, bring Love is….back! it was such a good show!!
I so agree with the majority of the comments – Love is was one of, if not, the best show on OWN. I wish they would not have acted so quickly with the cancellation – understand since the plaintiff had a charge against OWN also. What happened to innocent until proven guilty. Something smells fishy. BRING BACK LOVE IS – SEASON 2
I can’t believe the show was canceled. I really love ❤️ this show!! I was looking forward to watching season 2. I went to on demand to look at the re-runs and it’s no longer an option.

Me too! I binged watched the first season and was looking forward to the second season. I am so disappointed!
I am so upset that the show has been cancelled. I have been checking in periodically for a season 2 premier date only to have my heart broken . Absolutely loved every episode and couldn’t wait til the following week to see what happened next. Please somebody pick this show up!
I really enjoyed watching “Love Is” with my girlfriend. Seriously disappointed that it was canceled. I thought that it was well written and the acting was doggone good. I’ll miss it but it is what it is.
I looked forward to watching “Love Is.” It was probably one of the best shows on OWN. I thought it was a very good show and enjoyed every episode.
