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.”
What do you think? Have you seen Love Is ___? Would you have watched a second season?
Okay, I just googled they are still married and in love❤️, so if she forgave him, so should we!!!!! Bring back Love Is…..Please
With Covid, and the way the world is today, all we can look forward to is good tv. Love Is was good and could have gone further than Haves or Haves Not, Greenleaf, one of my favorites today, Queen Sugar, it had so much potential to be great. Hoping and praying it resurface one day❤️
I thought the show was awesome, as many of my friends. Disappointed, but hopefully a delay is not a total denial
I do hope the rumors are not true however
I enjoyed season 1 and looking forward to season 2. Hope someone picks it up. I love LOVE and can relate to this story in many ways.
I would have hoped that it got picked up by another network or OWN reversed the cancelation. I was waiting for season 2 so bad hope it can be rebooted.
I Love the show was very good and covered a lot of real life and things you could use in a relationship I pray they survive a nd return
Don’t cancel it I really loved sn1 atleast let us see the whole story
