Rachel Sennott's comedy series, "I Love LA," has rapidly established itself as a remarkably consistent performer for HBO, maintaining strong positions across the streamer's charts in numerous international markets as it approaches its Season 1 finale. The series has secured a coveted spot within the Top 5 in significant territories including the United States, Australia, France, and Spain. Furthermore, its broad international appeal is underscored by its consistent charting within the Top 10 in countries such as Hungary, Malaysia, Georgia, Armenia, and Croatia, among others.

Premiering on November 2, 2025, "I Love LA" quickly garnered critical acclaim and strong viewership, leading to an early renewal for Season 2 in the very same month. The sitcom centers on Sennott's character, Maia Simsbury, an ambitious talent manager whose meticulously crafted personal and professional worlds are thrown into disarray with the unexpected re-entry of her estranged best friend, Tallullah, a prominent influencer portrayed by Odessa A'zion. The show boasts an impressive ensemble cast, featuring talents like True Whitaker, Jordan Firstman, Josh Hutcherson, and Leighton Meester, alongside notable guest appearances from acclaimed actors such as Ayo Edebiri and Elijah Wood.

Critically, "I Love LA" holds a strong 85% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes, solidifying its reputation as one of HBO’s fastest-growing comedies. It consistently attracts an average of nearly two million cross-platform viewers within the U.S. In a recent interview, Rachel Sennott provided insight into her creative vision for the Gen-Z hangout comedy, humorously describing it as "Entourage for the internet girls." Sennott explained that the series aims to authentically reflect the complex realities faced by twenty-somethings navigating an increasingly unstable global landscape. While she consciously avoided taking the characters overly seriously, Sennott emphasized her intent for the narrative to address prevalent issues such as economic uncertainty, the lingering fallout from the pandemic, and the pervasive influence of social media habits that have profoundly shaped her generation.

Further elaborating on the show's creative process, Sennott recently discussed Ayo Edebiri’s memorable cameo during her appearance on the 'I’m Having an Episode' podcast with Mikey O’Connell. Edebiri delivers a scene-stealing performance as the delightfully delusional British pop star Mimi Rush in "I Love LA," Season 1, Episode 2. Sennott revealed that the character of Mimi Rush was organically developed through informal conversations between herself and Edebiri, before the concept fully materialized for the show. So impressed were her fellow writers and producers, Emma Barrie and Max Silvestri, that they extended an invitation to Edebiri to join the writers’ room and actively contribute to shaping her unforgettable guest appearance.

Sennott also reflected on the unique creative challenges and rewards of wearing multiple hats—as creator, writer, and star—within the production of "I Love LA." She shared that the dynamic experience of moving between these diverse roles proved to be extremely energizing rather than overwhelming. The "Shiva Baby" star explained that this constant shifting of responsibilities kept the production process fresh and engaging. Jokingly, she remarked, “By the end, I felt like I had just given birth,” while also noting that the post-production editing phase was considerably less intense compared to the demanding production itself. Additionally, Sennott addressed the series' thoughtful approach to integrating phones and social media. She highlighted that "I Love LA" intentionally refrains from over-explaining online behaviors, opting instead to present the internet as a seamlessly integrated and intrinsic part of the characters’ everyday lives, mirroring contemporary reality.

"I Love LA" broadcasts new episodes on Sundays on both HBO and HBO Max, with its highly anticipated Season 1 finale scheduled to air on December 21, 2025. Fans are encouraged to stay tuned to Collider for further updates on the series.
