AMC's Soulmates: Exclusive Director's Cut Trailer

AMC’s Soulmates is a six-episode anthology series built around a tantalizing sci-fi premise – what if there was a test that could tell you, unequivocally, who your soulmate is? Would you want to know, or remain in blissful ignorance and trust fate to find your ideal partner?Since the plot sounds like a Black Mirror concept expanded across multiple episodes, it should come as no surprise that Black Mirror writer Will Bridges (who penned the Emmy-winning “USS Callister,” along with “Shut Up and Dance”) is the co-creator of Soulmates, along with Brett Goldstein (Ted Lasso). Both shows seem eager to interrogate the morally murky themes of free will versus determinism and the many ways technology encroaches on our lives, for good and for ill.

According to AMC, “each of the six episodes will feature a different cast and explore an entirely new story around discovering (or opting not to discover) the results of this new test and the impact of those results on a myriad of relationships.” The cast also includes Charlie Heaton (Stranger Things), Malin Akerman (Billions, Dollface), Bill Skarsgård (Clark, Castle Rock), Betsy Brandt (Breaking Bad, Life in Pieces), David Costabile (Billions), Sonya Cassidy (Lodge 49, Humans), JJ Feild (Turn), Laia Costa (Victoria), Shamier Anderson (Goliath), Georgina Campbell (Black Mirror), and Nathan Stewart-Jarrett (Candyman).

Soulmates premieres on AMC on October 5 at 10 p.m. ET.
