,” a holiday rom-com, as the first title under her overall deal with Amazon Studios, she took six months to “sit in my feelings to figure out what was the new thing that I wanted to say,” the writer-producer-director recalls.
So she took a few months to regroup and find a story she was just as equally passionate about telling. She knew whatever came next would be the same kind of “salve” that “One Day at a Time” was because she wants to create shows that make people feel good about themselves and good about the world. But she also wanted to further stimulate conversations among family members.
“With Love,” which streams on Dec. 17, centers on a Latino family that gathers together for Christmas in the premiere episode. Jorge is the one bringing someone home for the first time , while his sister Lily struggles to make a new, lasting connection after a recent breakup. Their parents are out of sync with each other after decades of marriage, and Aunt Gladys is just perpetually single.
This includes creating a grandmother character who starts the series asking her grandson and his boyfriend about being gay, and calling in other family members to ask questions, too. “It all comes from a sweet space of trying to connect with [her] grandkids and trying to understand them,” Calderón Kellett notes.
