HBO has given a 12-episode series order to director Matthew A. Cherry’s newest 2D-animated series titled Young Love, which will be a spinoff sequel of Sony Pictures Animation’s Academy Award-winning short film Hair Love which you can check out below if haven’t had the chance to see it.
“I am beyond excited to continue telling the story of Stephen, Angela, and Zuri and further explore the family dynamics of a young Black millennial family we established in our short film Hair Love as an animated series,” Cherry said in a statement. “Couldn’t ask for better partners in Sony Pictures Animation and HBO Max in helping us get Young Love out to the world.”
Young Love hails from Cherry and Carl Jones, who will both serve as showrunners.
This project will become a part of Cherry’s first-look deal with Warner Bros. TV which he officially signed last June.
