Prime Video on Monday announced that they will adapt its hit international series ‘Modern Love’ in three Indian languages – Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
The new shows, titled ‘Modern Love: Mumbai’, ‘Modern Love: Chennai’ and ‘Modern Love: Hyderabad’, are slated to be released in 2022 across more than 240 countries and territories.
According to the announcement teaser shared by Prime Video on Instagram, the “3 new series” will be set in “3 cities” wherein the makers will explore “1 emotion”, PTI reported from Mumbai.
This series will feature adaptations of heartwarming stories of ‘Modern Love’ from The New York Times’ eponymous column.
Each episode is designed to take audiences on a 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.
James Farrell, head of local Originals, Amazon Studios said, “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”.
The original ‘Modern Love’ is an American romantic comedy anthology streaming television series which has been created by John Carney.
With the Indian adaptations of ‘Modern Love’, the streamer is aiming at taking stories of love that are rooted in Indian soil to audiences across India and the world.
Aparna Purohit, head of India Originals, Amazon Prime Video said, “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.”
