HBO Max's 'Made For Love' Ropes in Cristin Milioti

HBO Max does have some mega shows lined up once the streaming service is active. And one of those shows is the much talked about Made for Love. The tragicomedy has been in the works and is set to be a 10-episode presentation. And none other than Cristin Militoti has been roped in to play the lead.

According to a report in The Hollywood Reporter, Made for Love is based on the novel of the same title by Alissa Nutting. The tragicomedy is described as a dark, absurd and cynically poignant story of divorce and revenge and examines how far someone will go for love — and how much further others will go to destroy it.

Milioti will topline the comedy as Hazel Green, a 30-something woman on the run after 10 years in a suffocating marriage to an unstable, needy, possibly sociopathic tech billionaire. Soon she discovers that her husband has already implanted a revolutionary monitoring device — the Made for Love — in her brain, allowing him to track her, watch her and know her thoughts and feelings as she tries to stay alive. 

From Paramount Television, Patrick Somerville (Maniac) will serve as showrunner and adapt the best-selling novel. S.J. Clarkson (HBO's Game of Thrones prequel pilot) will direct and exec produce. Nutting, Liza Chasin of 3dot Productions and Dean Bakopoulos will also exec produce.
