Ray Romano has joined Cristin Milioti for HBO Max's "Made For Love". The series will be based on the novel of the same name by Alissa Nutting, with Ray Romano playing Cristin Milioti's father Herbert Green. Described as a widower and retired con man, he shuns relationships due to a fear of loss. Herbert is set to live out his final years on a remote desert ranch as a shut-in with his synthetic partner Diane-a high-end, ultra-realistic sex doll.

Cristin Milioti will play Hazel Green, a woman who escapes her marriage to Byron Gogol, a sociopathic-trending tech billionaire after he implants a chip in her head. The chip allows Byron unprecedented access to Hazel's brain as she flees to her desert hometown to take refuge with her aging widower father and his sex doll.

"Made For Love" is a look at all of the complexities and expectations in modern relationships. It is being adapted for the screen by series showrunner Patrick Somerville. S.J. Clarkson is attached to direct and executive produce. Nutting, Liza Chasin, Dean Bakopoulos will also executive produce with Paramount Television producing.

HBO Max is set for a spring launch next year.
