🌴I Love LA (2025) – Rachel Sennott Shines in HBO’s Bold & Bittersweet New Comedy: Cast, Plot, Release Date & Where to Watch

🌴 I Love LA: Rachel Sennott’s Bold and Bittersweet New HBO Comedy

“Maybe you can’t have it all… but in LA, you’ll sure as hell try.”

💫 A New Kind of Friendship Comedy Arrives

Get ready to fall in love with chaos, codependency, and California sunshine — Rachel Sennott (of Bottoms and Bodies Bodies Bodies fame) returns with her next big project, I Love LA, premiering November 2, 2025, exclusively on HBO and HBO Max.

Created, written, and starring Sennott herself, I Love LA is a razor-sharp, emotionally messy comedy about what happens when a friend group that once shared everything tries to reconnect — after success, heartbreak, and adulthood have pulled them in wildly different directions.

🌆 The Premise: Love, Lies, and Los Angeles

The series follows Maia (Rachel Sennott), an ambitious yet emotionally tangled writer, who reunites with her once inseparable friend group in Los Angeles. But the glossy surface of brunches and rooftop parties hides deeper cracks — ambition, jealousy, and unresolved feelings that never went away.

As the group attempts to rekindle their old closeness, they quickly realize that you can’t “manifest” your way out of emotional baggage. LA may be the city of dreams, but for Maia and her friends, it’s also a place where ambition and vulnerability collide.

As Maia quips in one unforgettable moment:

“Everyone here says they’re healing, but somehow we’re all just networking.”

🌴 Meet the Cast

The cast brings together some of the freshest and funniest faces in Hollywood:

• Rachel Sennott as Maia — the messy, self-aware heart of the group.

• Odessa A’zion as Tallulah — effortlessly cool, but secretly lost.

• Jordan Firstman as Charlie — the comedic glue with no filter.

• True Whitaker as Alani — spiritual, yet deeply cynical.

• Josh Hutcherson as Dylan — Maia’s ex and emotional wildcard.

Recurring appearances by Moses Ingram and Lauren Holt, plus guest spots from Leighton Meester, Elijah Wood, and Froy Gutierrez, add a star-studded spark to the show’s ensemble energy.

🎥 Behind the Scenes

Produced by Pasta Pasta and HBO Entertainment, I Love LA is shepherded by a powerhouse creative team including Emma Barrie, Aida Rodgers, Lorene Scafaria, and Max Silvestri, with Sennott at the helm as creator, writer, and executive producer.

Scafaria, known for Hustlers, brings her signature blend of humor and heart to the project, ensuring that beneath all the jokes and sun-drenched shots of Los Angeles, there’s a raw emotional honesty that hits deep.

🌅 The Tone: Sunlight and Sadness

If Girls met Insecure and went to therapy in Silver Lake, the result would be I Love LA. The series dives into the contradictions of modern adulthood — success vs. connection, ambition vs. burnout, self-love vs. self-destruction.

Through Sennott’s trademark dark humor, the show captures what it really feels like to be “doing fine” while falling apart — and loving every second of it.

“LA isn’t fake,” Maia says in one of the show’s best lines. “It’s just everyone’s performing sincerity.”

☀️ “You can’t have it all,” Maia admits. “But you can post like you do.”
