The four-part limited series, titled Love in the Time of Corona, will be filmed remotely from the team’s homes.
It promises “a funny and hopeful look at the search for love, sex and connection during this time of social distancing”, according to Freeform.
“The series will follow several interwoven stories with an ensemble of characters who are sheltering in their homes, some of whom are wondering if a hookup with a roommate can ever be casual, while another is kicking herself for deciding to isolate with an ex,” the description reads.
“It is a show that takes a fresh look at love that knows no bounds.”
Love in the Time of Corona will air in August.
“Love is a basic and central need,” creator and executive producer Joanna Johnson said.
“Finding it in the time of corona may pose unique challenges, but it won’t stop us from forging great love stories, inspiring grand romantic gestures and profound acts of kindness.”
Love in the Time of Corona isn't the only social-distance-themed show currently in the works.
Netflix has reportedly teamed up with Orange is the New Black creator Jenji Kohan for an anthology series titled Social Distance, also to be produced remotely.
