Soulmates Anthology Series Renewed for Season Two

AMC has ordered a second season of the episodic anthology series Soulmates ahead of the series’ season one debut.

Written by Emmy Award winner Will Bridges (Stranger Things, Black Mirror) and Brett Goldstein (Ted Lasso, Superbob, Adult Life Skills), the series from AMC Studios wryly examines the nature of romantic love. It is set 15 years into the future, when a test has been created that unequivocally tells you who your soulmate is. The first season of Soulmates is slated to bow on Sunday, October 5.

Bridges and Goldstein executive produce with Jolyon Symonds through Fearless Minds, a Banijay Group company. Bridges and Goldstein previously created the short film For Life, which serves as the basis for this new original series.

Bridges and Goldstein said: “We are so delighted to have the opportunity to continue working with the incredible team at AMC to tell more of our romantically unromantic love stories and can’t wait to get back into the world they helped us create.”

Dan McDermott, president of original programming for AMC Networks’ Entertainment Group and co-president of AMC Studios, said: “We were immediately drawn to the unique premise of Soulmates, as it explores love and relationships from several touchpoints in a way that naturally feeds the zeitgeist, prompting conversations around human connection, relationships and happiness. These are stories and themes that resonate and feel almost timely given today’s climate in which so many of us feel disconnected or are coping with shifting relationship dynamics. We’re thrilled to continue our relationship with Will and Brett who never fail to deliver the very best in high-caliber, imaginative storytelling.”
