Love Life season 2 is set to premiere on HBO on Thursday, October 28 at 10pm ET / PT, with the first three episodes available to stream on demand on HBO Max from that same date.

They'll will be followed by three more instalments the week after and so on, with the final four episodes landing on the service on November 11.

HBO is available via most cable packages, but for those who don't want to be tied down by that sort of commitment, you can watch Love Life season 2 exclusively on streaming service HBO Max

The service comes in two options - the $9.99 a month ‘With Ads’ plan, and the ‘Ad-Free’ $14.99 option. As well as Love Life, you’ll get access to a huge library of top-drawer content with both: revered HBO shows like Game of Thrones, Flight of the Conchords, Euphoria and The Wire, a richly curated selection of titles from Turner Classic Movies, plus iconic films and TV series from Warner Brothers’ 100-year library.

What you won’t get unless you opt for the ‘Ad-Free’ plan, however, are Warner Brothers 2021 movie releases, available on HBO Max day-and-date with their cinema release, for a month from their debut. By paying $14.99 a month, you can experience the excitement of opening night from home, with the Sopranos prequel The Many Saints of Newark and Dune currently available to stream in 4K Ultra HD and with Dolby Atmos sound. But, if you’re not impressed by the service, you can cancel whenever you like.

The 7-day HBO Max free trial has long since been discontinued. But, if you're a current HBO Now subscriber or pay for HBO through your cable provider, you might actually be entitled to HBO Max at no extra cost.

Devices compatible with HBO Max include iPhone and Android devices, Apple and Samsung TVs, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles, Chromecast and Chromebooks, and laptops and PCS. HBO Max on Roku and Amazon Fire Stick is also available.
