Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman first met when he hosted the Academy Awards in 2009, and became friends when they co-starred in 2012’s “Les Misérables” — which brought him an Oscar nomination for best actor and her a win for supporting actress. This year, Jackman drew raves for his role in HBO’s “Bad Education” as a charismatic school superintendent living a double life. In Amazon’s anthology series “Modern Love,” Hathaway played Lexi, a lawyer with bipolar disorder, whose life is a movie musical when she’s on a high — but when she’s low, she’s bedridden. During their conversation, the two exuded warmth toward each other. And when it came to an end, Hathaway suggested they have a “Zoom date” with their spouses, Deborra-Lee Furness and Adam Shulman. “Done!” Jackman said. “I’ll text you after this.” They talked to each other over video chat for Variety‘s Actors on Actors issue.

In theory, a series based on “Modern Love,” the wildly popular “New York Times” column about real life relationships, is a slam dunk. There’s no shortage of material, it already has an audience, and there’s no premise more open-ended than “love.” All a TV version of “Modern Love” had to do was pick compelling stories, connect some narrative dots, and cast a handful of beautiful people to give it a glossier finish than it ever had in print.
Amazon’s adaptation, developed by “Sing Street” writer/director John Carney, is a success on exactly one of these fronts. You’ll hardly find a more charismatic and photogenic cast than this one, which includes actors like Dev Patel, Anne Hathaway, Catherine Keener, Andrew Scott and Tina Fey to tell a different story in every episode. It’s tempting to feel a tiny twinge of warmth as they turn their luminous,...

The “Modern Love” television series, based on the eponymous New York Times column, will premiere on Amazon Prime Video on Oct. 18.
“These stories are successful when the person understands themselves better at the end, not when they get the person that they’re going after,” said The New York Times’ Daniel Jones, editor of the column and consulting producer of the series, speaking about the original column at the Television Critics Assn. summer press tour on Saturday.
The anthology, from John Carney “explores love in all of its complicated and beautiful forms as each standalone episode brings some of the most beloved stories to life with a stellar cast,” said the company. Amazon Studios, Storied Media Group and The New York Times produced the series.
Anne Hathaway, who also appeared on the TCA panel alongside Jones and series co-stars Cristin Milioti and Gary Carr, said that her story revolves around the Terri Cheney column,...
