The first season of Loveâthe Netflix series created by Judd Apatow, Paul Rust, and Lesley Arfinâpremiered on February 19 and, to put it in the simplest and most immediately obvious way possible, we fell in love. So imagine our joy when Rust, who also stars in the series, agreed to do a Twitter Takeover of @nerdist! This all went down yesterday, and it was a lot of fun for all.
Hey Nerdist! Itâs @PaulRust live from the 1st day of @Love Season 2. Welcome! #LoveOnNetflixhttps://t.co/IWiE8hF5MY

Last month we learned that the show was renewed for a second season, just a few days after its premiere. The first post of our Twitter Takeover, above, was Rust announcing that yesterday was the first day of shooting that second season, and that makes us glad that Netflix had faith in the program from the get-go. Over the course of the next few tweets, Rust shared a bevy of set photos, including scripts being refined in the writers’ room, table reads, and other behind the scenes action.
This is the writersâ room. The â#Seinfeld” action figures keep us inspired. #LoveOnNetflix @Love pic.twitter.com/YgxLEK47Nz â Nerdist (@nerdist) March 1, 2016

Rust also took the opportunity to answer fan questions about a potential spin-off series (that admittedly doesn’t seem likely) and how true to his life the series is (the figure is 45.7%).
Yes. Itâs set at a college and called âThe Tenor with Tenure.â @Love #LoveOnNetflix https://t.co/TtZ7OjhyS9 â Nerdist (@nerdist) March 1, 2016
We havenât gotten the official numbers, but early reports say 45.7%. @Love #LoveOnNetflix https://t.co/NgmL9f9B1a

Just started shooting Season 2 today. All of it takes place entirely in the Magic Castle. #LoveOnNetflix @Love https://t.co/hNOpjBlodE â Nerdist (@nerdist) March 1, 2016
We got plenty of fun and insight out of Rust, so we eventually let him get back to work on more great TV for the masses to consume and enjoy. Thanks again, Paul. We love you.
Thatâs a wrap! Not on set, just on this Twitter thing. Be sure to check out #LoveOnNetflix! pic.twitter.com/qr5s5esa25
