Here’s the Modern Love cast: Oscar winner Anne Hathaway (Les Miserables), Emmy winner Tina Fey (30 Rock), Emmy nominee John Slattery (Mad Men), Oscar nominee Dev Patel (Lion), Oscar nominee Catherine Keener (Get Out), Oscar nominee Andy Garcia (Ocean’s Eleven), Emmy nominee Brandon Victor Dixon (Power), Tony Award winner John Gallagher, Jr. (The Newsroom), Cristin Milioti (Black Mirror), Olivia Cooke (Ready Player One), Andrew Scott (Sherlock), Julia Garner (Ozark), Shea Whigham (Homecoming), Gary Carr (The Deuce, Downton Abbey), and Sofia Boutella (Kingsman: The Secret Service).
“It’s like I woke up in the actor candy store,” Carney said in a statement. “We’ve managed to assemble a dream cast of my favorite actors. It’s a testament to the reach of the original column and of how, now more than ever, love is the only certainty.” Carney will write, direct, and executive producer the series (serving as the showrunner), but he’ll also be joined by a few other directors stepping behind the camera.
Emmy Rossum (Shameless), Sharon Horgan (Catastrophe, Divorce), and Tom Hall (Sensation) will each direct an episode. Horgan will helm the episode led by Tina Fey and John Slattery, which she also wrote, and Hall wrote the episode he’ll direct. Meanwhile, Rossum will direct an episode that was written by the late Audrey Wells (Under the Tuscan Sun, The Hate U Give).
