Love was a bit of a sleeper hit for Netflix. There’s never a huge amount of discussion about it, and yet every time I bring the show up in conversation with a friend they end up gushing about it.

Neither hugely dramatic nor comedic, and yet great precisely because of this, it had a pleasing little first season that offered an incredibly realistic look at its enormous titular topic.

I reached out to co-creator Judd Apatow today for an update:

The first 10 episodes were released in one go in February, so we can fairly safely pencil in February/March 2017 for its season 2 return.

As for what will go down in it, “Mickey’s grappling with some different issues,” Gillian Jacobs recently told ET.

Andy Dick also confirmed that he will be making a comeback following his one-episode cameo.

My part in season 2 of Love is small,” Dick he said at Montreal’s Just for Laughs comedy festival. “It’s still me, obviously. I come in, cry on Gillian’s shoulder, she fluffs me up and I leave.”

Earlier in the year, Jacobs discussed how she was pleased the show included female masturbation for a change.

"It's so great that you see Mickey masturbating in front of her cat,” she told ES Magazine.

"There have been so many scenes of men masturbating in film and on TV, and so few of women."
