Check out a first look at the upcoming HBO Max animated series, “Young Love,” based on the characters introduced in the Academy Award-winning short film, “Hair Love” from Oscar winner Matthew A. Cherry and Sony Pictures Animation. The new series is created by Cherry, who will showrun with long-time animation creative Carl Jones (The Boondocks, Black Dynamite). The series will be executive produced by Blue Key Entertainment’s Monica A. Young (producer of Hair Love) along with Lion Forge Animation’s David Steward II and Carl Reed.
“Young Love” takes an honest look into the world of the Young family – including millennial parents Stephen and Angela, their daughter Zuri and her pet cat Rocky – as they juggle their careers, marriage, parenthood, social issues, and multi-generational dynamics all while striving to make a better life for themselves.
