The new show takes its inspiration from various personal essays published in the NYT column of the same name.

Covering everything from dating when you’re older to the importance of friendships, each half hour-long episode picks up on an individual story.

One particular story focuses on Lexi (played by Anne Hathaway) as bipolar woman struggling to open up while another tells the tale of dating website founder Joshua dealing with heartbreak.

Daniel Jones has been the editor of the NYT column that inspired the series for 15 years and was involved in the show as a consulting producer.

He spoke exclusively to Express.co.uk ahead of the air date about what it is all about.

He said of the show: “One way that this series is different from other scripted television shows is that these are real lives and there’s a lack of polish I guess to those lives or

unexpected endings or different ways that love is represented than you would dream up in a Hollywood writers room.

“These are real stories and these are real touchstones for people in a time of real political upheaval, and big abstract problems in the world that sometimes feel overwhelming - these are

normal little stories about people being good to each other.”

Jones was even involved in naming the column when it first began back in 2004, which he hopes encapsulates what it is all about.

He said about the choice: “The word ‘modern’, I thought whether it meant that these are new ways that people are connecting or have love in their lives.

“And then, the word love, I just thought was broad enough in our interpretation to capture all the different ways we connect not just romantically.”

Modern Love is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video from Friday, October 18.
