Freeform released the first trailer for its four-part limited series “Love in the Time of Corona” on Monday for those who aren’t sick of quarantine yet.
The scripted drama, which hails from “Good Trouble” duo Joanna Johnson and Christine Sacani, tells “four interwoven stories about the hopeful search for love and connection during this time of quarantine,” from the early days of social distance through the events that ignited the worldwide Black Lives Matter protests.
The four parts will air across two nights, Aug. 22 and 23 on Freeform.
