According to Deadline, WarnerMedia has already ordered a 10-episode first season lasting half an hour each. Love Life is about the journey from first love to last love and how all the in-betweens and the people we’ve been with makes us into who we are when we finally find the person we’ll spend forever with. Each season of Love Life will follow a different protagonist’s love life while each episode features the story of one of their relationships.
