Sex & the City for Gen Z.
LOVED BY follows three twenty-something best friends navigating sex, love and identity in Los Angeles—where everyone has the language to define a relationship, but no one seems to know how to have one.
From the pilot by Taj Sangha, based on the SEX Y LA columns by Ayn Carrillo Gailey, LOVED BY reimagines Gailey's candid, funny examination of modern sex, love and identity through a Gen Z lens.
Everyone knows how to talk about love. Nobody knows how to do it.
OUR MAIN CHARACTERS
SIDNEY “SID” SULLIVAN, 26 — THE ROMANTIC
An aspiring writer obsessed with understanding love despite never having experienced it herself, Sid wants to become the voice of her generation on relationships. What she needs is harder: to stop observing love long enough to risk actually being changed by it.
MARLOW CROSS, 26 — THE HEDONIST
A fearless, sex-positive Pilates instructor who treats attraction like cardio—intense, pleasurable and preferably commitment-free. Marlow wants absolute sexual freedom; what she needs is to discover whether intimacy can exist without costing her independence.
Marlow's mantra: “If there’s no spark, I’m gone. If there is a spark, I’m also gone.”
GEMMA NAVARRO, 26 — THE PLANNER
A high-achieving Google engineer who has spent years building the relationship—and life—she thought she wanted. Gemma wants certainty and a future that goes according to plan; she needs to learn that choosing the plan isn't the same thing as choosing herself.
