Amazon has nabbed a lineup of A-list actors for its upcoming series, Modern Love.
The show, which will be based on The New York Times column by the same name, is set to star actors like Anne Hathaway, Tina Fey, Dev Patel, Julia Garner, and Catherine Keener, The Hollywood Reporter wrote Monday. Others, including John Slattery, Cristin Milioti, Brandon Victor Dixon, and Andy Garcia will be featured as well.
Modern Love, currently in production in New York, will follow various sub-casts in an anthology-style series, with eight episodes that are inspired by the Times' advice column, a favorite weekly feature among readers.

"It's like I woke up in the actor candy store. We've managed to assemble a dream cast of my favorite actors," said showrunner John Carney, per the Reporter. "It's a testament to the reach of the original column and of how, now more than ever, love is the only certainty."
The show will reportedly explore many forms of love, including familial, platonic, and self-love. Amazon Studios' Jennifer Salke said Modern Love is one way the streaming service is striving to find the "next big show that women ... can't stop talking about."
