### Premise and structure
Each episode takes place on a different holiday over the course of roughly a year. Season 1 covers Nochebuena ([Christmas Eve](https://www.edgepedia.org/christmas-eve)), New Year's Eve, Valentine's Day, the Fourth of July, and Día de los Muertos, with all five episodes released on December 17, 2021[1](https://epguides.com/WithLove/). Season 2, released all at once on June 2, 2023, moves through Christmas Eve, an engagement party, Lily's double quinceañera, a bachelor party, [Thanksgiving](https://www.edgepedia.org/thanksgiving), and a wedding[5](https://tvdocket.com/shows/with-love/).
The central characters are twenty-something siblings Lily Diaz ([Emeraude Toubia](https://www.edgepedia.org/emeraude-toubia)), a hopeless romantic who is freshly single when the series opens, and Jorge Diaz Jr. ([Mark Indelicato](https://www.edgepedia.org/mark-indelicato)), who brings his boyfriend Henry (Vincent Rodriguez III) home to meet the family in the first episode[8](https://www.washingtonpost.com/tv/2021/12/17/with-love-review/?itid=ap_inkookang). Their parents, Beatriz ([Constance Marie](https://www.edgepedia.org/constance-marie)) and Jorge Sr. (Benito Martinez), run a Mexican restaurant while their long marriage quietly frays, and their cousin Sol (Isis King), a trans oncologist, begins a relationship with a hospital colleague, Dr. Miles Murphy (Todd Grinnell)[8](https://www.washingtonpost.com/tv/2021/12/17/with-love-review/?itid=ap_inkookang). Lily's romantic entanglements involve Santiago Zayas (Rome Flynn) and Nick Zhao (Desmond Chiam), who is also Jorge's best friend[9](https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/entertainment/emeraude-toubia-on-prime-videos-with-love-season-two). Grandparents Marta and Luis Delgado are played by Renée Victor and Pepe Serna[9](https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/entertainment/emeraude-toubia-on-prime-videos-with-love-season-two).
## Creation and representation
Kellett, a Cuban American showrunner who had co-created the *One Day at a Time* revival with [Norman Lear](https://www.edgepedia.org/norman-lear)'s production team, conceived the series after noticing that the holiday rom-coms she watched featured almost exclusively white couples[4](https://www.televisionacademy.com/features/news/features/gloria-calderon-kellett-shares-love). She pitched it to Amazon in January 2021, and the show went into production that year[10](https://www.wweek.com/arts/2021/12/14/portland-native-gloria-calderon-kelletts-new-locally-set-amazon-prime-series-brings-diversity-to-the-holiday-rom-com-genre/). Portland was her hometown; her parents had moved there in 1964 among a community of roughly 30 to 40 Latino families, mostly Cuban, and she set the series there partly to show that Latino communities exist in the [Pacific Northwest](https://www.edgepedia.org/pacific-northwest)[10](https://www.wweek.com/arts/2021/12/14/portland-native-gloria-calderon-kelletts-new-locally-set-amazon-prime-series-brings-diversity-to-the-holiday-rom-com-genre/).
**Representation was the show's stated purpose.** Kellett said she set out to portray Black, brown, queer, and Asian joy on screen, and the cast and writers' room were mostly Latinx[11](https://hiplatina.com/with-love-gloria-calderon-kellett/). The series features a Latino/Asian gay relationship, a trans character played by the trans actress [Isis King](https://www.edgepedia.org/isis-king) in a storyline defined by happiness rather than trauma, love after 50, and love after loss[11](https://hiplatina.com/with-love-gloria-calderon-kellett/) • [12](https://tilt.goombastomp.com/tv/with-love-review/). Kellett contrasted this with *One Day at a Time*, saying *With Love* features "two queer people who came out a decade ago — nobody gives a shit anymore," meaning the drama lies elsewhere than in coming out[4](https://www.televisionacademy.com/features/news/features/gloria-calderon-kellett-shares-love). The frequent Spanish-language dialogue is left untranslated, and the score was composed by Siddhartha Khosla, including a song written for the show by [Lin-Manuel Miranda](https://www.edgepedia.org/lin-manuel-miranda) and performed by [Gloria Estefan](https://www.edgepedia.org/gloria-estefan)'s daughter[12](https://tilt.goombastomp.com/tv/with-love-review/).
## Reception
The Washington Post's review by Inkoo Kang called the show a "lovingly crafted confection" that stands out among assembly-line holiday content, praising its verve and its grounded subplot about the parents' marriage[8](https://www.washingtonpost.com/tv/2021/12/17/with-love-review/?itid=ap_inkookang). *Time* included it among its December 2021 recommendations, describing it as a culturally specific five-episode story spanning a year of holidays[13](https://time.com/6126819/2021-culture-recommendations/). On Rotten Tomatoes the series holds a 100% Tomatometer from 13 reviews and an 81% audience score[7](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/with_love); IMDb users rate it 7.2 out of 10[3](https://www.justwatch.com/us/tv-show/with-love). Common Sense Media praised its diverse cast, which the show itself jokes about, noting a line about the Diaz family being "97% of all Oregon Latinos," while finding some of the dialogue overly explanatory[6](https://www.commonsensemedia.org/tv-reviews/with-love) • [10](https://www.wweek.com/arts/2021/12/14/portland-native-gloria-calderon-kelletts-new-locally-set-amazon-prime-series-brings-diversity-to-the-holiday-rom-com-genre/).
Season 1 received a ReFrame Stamp in 2021–22, an industry mark for gender-balanced production[14](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/G/01/IMDb/pr/pdf/IMDbPressRelease_071922ReFrameTVStamp.pdf).
## Cancellation
The series was renewed for a second season in April 2022, and that season premiered on June 2, 2023[2](https://play.google.com/store/tv/show/With_Love?hl=en&id=5DFBC22DC101BD2CSH). In November 2023, Prime Video canceled *With Love* after two seasons, alongside *The Horror of Dolores Roach*, another Kellett production[2](https://play.google.com/store/tv/show/With_Love?hl=en&id=5DFBC22DC101BD2CSH) • [15](https://www.ismyshowcancelled.com/article/2023-11-21/prime-video-cancels-with-love/). Its final episode, "The Wedding," aired on June 2, 2023[5](https://tvdocket.com/shows/with-love/). The cancellation came amid a wider wave of Latinx-led show cancellations that season, a context in which HipLatina noted that simply reaching a second season felt like an achievement[16](https://hiplatina.com/with-love-season-two/).
