Amazon’s Romantic Comedy Series ‘With Love’ Currently in the Works
By Kurt Balingit
Gloria Calderón Kellett has landed a deal with Amazon for her first series. Amazon has given the green light for the romantic-com series “With Love,” which follows Lily and Jorge Diaz, who are on a mission to find love and purpose. The siblings cross paths with seemingly unrelated residents during the holiday. The series will begin production in June with plans to launch it at the end of 2021. Kellet states…
“I started writing as a way to create characters and stories that represented myself and the community I love. After such a heavy year, there was nothing I wanted more than to see a happy, warm, loving family that looked like mine, celebrating trauma-free and falling in love. So, to be bringing that family to life as my first project with Amazon Studios feels especially personal and is incredibly exciting. I cannot wait to share ‘With Love’ this holiday season!”

With Love is Calderon Kellett’s follow up series to the dramedy One Day at a Time which appeared on Netflix and was co-created by Gloria alongside Mike Royce. Kellett has sinced moved her deal from Sony TV to Amazon in 2019 following a multiple-studio bidding war. Marc Resteghini, the US and Global Head of Development for Amazon Studios had this to say about Gloria and her creativity
“With Love is a special project and Gloria at her best, creating a world with a vibrant family at its center, hysterical circumstances, and so much heart and soul. We’re so proud of what’s to come of this series and can’t wait for the world to fall in love with it,”
