There's a Coronavirus Romantic Comedy Coming to Freeform Titled LOVE IN THE TIME OF CORONA
There’s another coronavirus inspired series being developed that I won’t watch. It’s a scripted romantic comedy series titled Love in the Time of Corona and it’s being developed by The Fosters and Good Trouble co-creator Joanna Johnson for Freeform.
This is a four-part romantic comedy that takes a look “at the search for love, sex and connection during this time of social distancing.”
The series will follow several interwoven stories with an “ensemble of characters who are sheltering in their homes, some of whom are wondering if a hook-up with a roommate can ever be casual, while another is kicking herself for deciding to isolate with an ex.”
Love in the Time of Corona will be filmed using remote technologies and it will be set at the homes of the talent as the backdrop to the stories. Lauren Corrao, executive vice president, Programming and Development, Freeform said in a statement:
“This is the perfect show for a generation who is learning to love and be loved in a time when the entire world is telling them to stay six feet apart. Although the constraints have been difficult during this time, immense creativity has flourished and we could not be more grateful that Joanna brought this series to Freeform.”
Johnson added:
“Love is a basic and central need. Finding it in the time of Corona may pose unique challenges, but it won’t stop us from forging great love stories, inspiring grand romantic gestures and profound acts of kindness.”
You can now roll you eyes and move on to the next thing.
