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?
Oprah canceled the wrong show. What need to be canceled is Veronica and the weirdo cop show I think its Have & Have Not as in Not a good show. Please bring Love Is back. Best show in a long time. Love Is I Love that show. Rethink that move Oprah.
Please reconsider canceling Love Is. The theme of the shoe and the acting were spot on. It is a show I will truly miss and wish you would reconsider its cancellation.

HIGHLY disappointed that this couldn’t at Least stick around for season 2 Before it was cancelled . and at least give the audience what was promised . i dont really care for allegations because i didn’t know of it till now smh …. own disappointed me … can this go on Netflix or something AT LEAST!

I Loved The Show Love Is. I Was Looking So Forward To The Second Season. Let Anyone That Is Without SIN Cast The First Stone. So Sad This Show Has Been Cancelled.
I absolutely loved the show and was so disappointed in the cancellation, but I understand. I hope it will return, for it was so original; unlike any other show on today. Tastefully done…. ♡
I am very disappointed because I was waiting on it to return. I really loved Love Is! I hope that it will return soon because it is a great show that I looked forward to watching every Tuesday night. I am sad now that is hasn’t returned.
I absolutely LOVED this show!!!I understand Oprah making a stand but I hope if she won’t reconsider, another network will pick it up and run with it. The characters are realistic, the situations are relatable. Even the music was………………….
I am anxiously waiting for season 2.
I hate we won’t know the ending
The show “Love is” is the only reason I watched the OWN channel other shows, with them cancelling” Love Is” The OWN channel has lost me as a viewer ! But they probably don’t car because of the money Ms. Winfrey has ?
I loved Love is, it’s a shame that it’s been cancelled, that’s the only reason I watched the other things on OWN TV ! They have lost me as a viewer !!!!!
I’m sorry to hear that Love is will not be returning:(
So looking forward to watch season 2
All this time I’ve been waiting so I decided to google to see what’s up so disappointed
I am so disappointed. It’s a shame that black is not shown on television. I would like for someone to producer the show. Our kids to know that black people get marry and live happy after ever too
I am very disappointed that this show is not coming back for a second season, I looked forward to watching every week and have been anticipating the next season. I hope something works out and its renewed
I was so looking forward to season 2 of Love Is___ . It’s was very entertaining. I hope something changes and the show does come back!
I can not believe this show was cancelled! I watched every episode, told everyone I know to watch it, and was looking forward to Season 2.
From what was said about the reason for canceling, I can see why the network does not want any part of it. What a shame. My heart goes out to all the cast who are losing out because of this. Also, all the crew that put this show together. I wish it could somehow be revived.
I agree 100% and was so looking forward to watching again. It had great characters we could all relate to. I do understand why but very upset that it cancels the show. So many people out of work now I pray that it would come back some other time. I love the messages it was sending.
I was also looking forward to watching Season 2 Love Is in February 2019 as it was stated. What a bubble burst to learn it has been Cancelled. Your WORD is your BOND. So, let it air for season 2. Don’t say anything about bringing it back, and cancell it afterwards. Remember, Your WORD.
AGREE!!!
