HBO's dark comedy sci-fi series Made for Love premiered in April 2021 to rave reviews, and though it wasn't a huge word-of-mouth hit, it evidently moved the needle enough for HBO to greenlight a second season.

Yet you couldn't be blamed for failing to notice that season two came and went, the season's eight episodes being quietly released with minimal marketing last spring.

Despite generally being well-received, season two just didn't pick up any traction at all, with considerably less outlets bothering to review it and it barely producing any ripples on social media.

The writing was on the wall that HBO had basically given up on the show already and merely completing contractual obligations, as was confirmed when they cancelled Made for Love less than a month after season two finished airing.

And just like Westworld, it was removed from HBO Max back in December so it could be licensed out elsewhere.
