Streaming giant Amazon Prime Video has announced multiple Indian adaptations of its international anthology series ‘Modern Love’. Launched in three Indian languages, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, the series will be titled ‘Modern Love: Mumbai, ‘Modern Love: Chennai’, and ‘Modern Love: Hyderabad’. The series will feature adaptations of stories, with each episode detailing the different shades of love, friendship, and family.
Head of local originals, Amazon Studios, James Farrell said in a statement, “‘Modern Love’ is an ode to love in its varied forms. We have seen audiences across the world relate to the stories from our US show, and we feel India’s diverse culture organically lends itself to the series. We’re confident that the Indian adaptations will similarly touch a chord with our customers.”
Head of India Originals, Amazon Prime Video, Apart Purohit said, “India is the land of love and with our Indian adaptions we are aiming at taking stories of love that are rooted in Indian soil to audiences across India and the world.”
She added, “The series which will be made across multiple languages, will explore the countless shades of love. While these heartwarming stories are adapted from the famous New York Times column, they’re quintessentially Indian at heart, with the metropolitan cities of Mumbai, Chennai and Hyderabad serving as the perfect canvas. We’re truly excited to bring these incredible stories to our customers across India and the world.”
The series is slated to release in 2022 across more than 240 countries and territories. The original featured a stellar cast, including Anne Hathaway, Kit Harington, Anna Paquin, Tina Fey and Dev Patel.
