I Love LA S1
In I Love LA, a tight-knit friend group gathers after years apart, navigating the complexities of ambition, relationships, and how time has changed them.
Creator Rachel Sennott (Bottoms, Shiva Baby), rising star Odessa A’zion (Marty Supreme) and People’s Choice winner Josh Hutcherson (The Hunger Games) lead the cast. Guest stars include Teen Choice winner Leighton Meester (Gossip Girl), Emmy nominee Moses Ingram (Queen’s Gambit, Obi-Wan Kenobi), and multi-award winner Elijah Wood (The Lord of the Rings, Yellowjackets).
I Love LA has an 84% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Indiewire describes the series as “very funny”; Elle as “comedy gold”; and Vulture as “a comedy that’s both precise and unhinged, absurdly funny yet emotionally true – a portrait of youthful ambition and friendship that makes someone slightly older both grateful to not be that young anymore and just a little envious of those who are.”
HBO has already ordered a second season, after I Love LA became HBO’s second top freshman comedy in platform history, averaging nearly two million US cross-platform viewers.
