Love comes home this year as Amazon Prime Video today announced local
adaptations of international hit series, Modern Love. Launching 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 from the eponymous column, with each episode
designed to take audiences on a heartwarming journey of discovering love
through stories of multiple human emotions ranging from love and romance to
self-love, familial love, love towards ones’ friends, and love that emerges out
of kindness among others. The anthology series is slated to release in 2022
across 240+ countries and territories
“Love knows no boundaries, it’s a universal language understood by all,”
said James Farrell, head of local Originals, Amazon Studios. “Modern Love is an
ode to love in its varied forms. We have seen audiences across the world relate
with 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.”
“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,” said Aparna Purohit, head of India Originals, Amazon Prime
Video. “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.”
Daniel Jones, editor of Modern Love at The New York Times, said: “India
is a country where love in its various forms is at the center of its cultural
fabric. It is exciting and an honour to see these stories of love being adapted
for the Indian versions of the show. We’re thrilled with the appreciation
Modern Love has received worldwide. These Indian adaptions are in our own way,
a little love letter to India, as well as a testament to the universal appeal
of love as an emotion.”
