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?
I’m so sad ! That show made me believe in love again. Please bring this show back!!
Wow I’m really disappointed Love Is is being canceled. I really loved the show. It was so real and so touching. I’ll definitely miss it and hope things will work out.
Everytime there is a good show its canceled. I love this series. I hope that OWN will have a change of heart &bring it back. Maybe try new writers
I Loved this show. I would definitely watch season two. They lefted us hanging!
Yes, bring it back
I’m reading the comments below and everyone seems to be confused about who was actually accused…. It’s the Executive Producer people, Not the actor…
OMG I LOVED THIS SHOW!!! Can’t believe that it will not be a session 2
I just got word that they canceled Love Is and I am extremely upset. They can replace the actor with someone else I’m sure. This story is incomplete and still has a lot to tell. I really wish they would reconsider and give the viewers another season.
It’s the executive producer boo, not the actor
It’s not the actor, it’s the executive producer
I’m glad the show has been canceled, however the actors and actresses were wonderful I hope to see them in something else but I do not and never will support an abusers.
Very upset that love is not coming back on, it was a good show I never missed an episode. Telling real stories of black people life and how they fell in love, it caught my attention from the 1st episode. I really hope you will rethink of putting it back for 2nd season or at least with a different couple.
It’s the executive producer, not the actor
Very disappointing to hear that the show has cancelled, already not enough black show on tv! If you already have the second season recorded go ahead and show it. I was counting down to viewing the new season.
Please please bring Love Is back, its the only show that shows the truly meaning of what a true relationship looks like at its best an at its worst. It left you intense every week. It also gave a reason for me an my neighbor to hang out have wine an just enjoy an awesome show. Love is….Everything♥️
Yes, I really like the show so please give the show a second season
I didn’t care about the show
I’m so sorry they cancelled Love Is. I really liked that show and yes I would have watched season two.
