With Love, Amazon Prime's queer-inclusive series, is back for a second season this June and wants to be gayer than ever before.
"You're invited. You have a seat at the family table. That's what we want the viewer to feel, whatever background they come from. The show is for anyone," creator, showrunner, and executive producer Gloria Calderón Kellett told Entertainment Weekly.
The adorable series follows the Diaz siblings as they fall in and out of romances. According to Calderón Kellett, eash episode of Season 2 will be focus on a major celebration: "Christmas Eve, an engagement party, Lily's double quince (30th birthday), a bachelor party, Thanksgiving, and yes, a wedding!"
"We're still making up for [lack of representation] and all of those romantic comedies where we have never seen ourselves centered," Calderón Kellett went on. "There's always homages paid to big life events that have happened that we've never gotten to see ourselves in. And so, this is supposed to be righting that wrong of never seeing ourselves centered."
She shared even more details from the upcoming season! "We start with a direct pickup, figuring out who is getting married, and then, this season is really following that wedding. It's following this Latino family supporting and loving [this couple] getting married. These stories being centered on queer people, brown people, AAPI, it's a rarity for our communities to get to see this."
All of this, just in time for Pride Month! It even explores some kinks.
"There's no kink-shaming," said Calderón Kellett. "Everyone's got their kinks — walking in on parents having sex, visiting your aunt who happens to have a gimp in her house decorating her Christmas tree. This is the fun that we get to have that we don't usually get to have. And I'm so happy that we get to explore all of that, and fulfill all of those fun comedic moments that you would see in a romantic comedy, and it's through the lens of these characters."
