Amazon orders anthology series based on New York Times' "Modern Love" column, passes on How I Met Your Mother creators' comedy pilot

Deadline

Each of the eight Modern Love episodes will be standalone, exploring love in its many forms, according to Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke. "It’s telling heightened kind of stories about love and romance, not necessarily all romantic," she says Salke also revealed that Making Friends, from How I Met Your Mother creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas, will not get a series order, while Upload from The Office's Greg Daniels is “in very much active conversations about the budget and other things.”
