Cosmic Love is a new kind of social experiment by Prime Video

Editorial Staff
Share

Prime Video released the official trailer for the first season of Cosmic Love. The series will premiere all 10 episodes on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide on Friday, August 12. 

In this one-of-a-kind social experiment, four individuals attempt to find their perfect spouse via astrological matchmaking. Each individual represents one of the four elements of astrology (Air, Fire, Water, Earth). Their romantic adventure takes place at a retreat run by a mystical guide, the Astro Chamber. They mingle, match, date, eliminate, and eventually make the biggest decision of their lives… will they marry their match, based solely on their astrology?

The show’s astrologers, best-selling authors Ophira and Tali Edut (The AstroTwins), guide our singles throughout the season by way of the mysterious Astro Chamber (voiced by Cree Summer).

Cosmic Love is produced by Amazon Studios and Hudsun Media. Jess Castro (Love IslandAmerican Idol) serves as showrunner and executive producer for the series. Michael Rourke (House of DVFThe Toy Box) for Hudsun Media, Hashim Williams (Barbershop MedicineThe Bachelor franchise), and Nathan Coyle also executive produce, along with Viki Cacciatore (Running Wild with Bear GryllsAmerican Ninja Warrior). Cosmic Love, which was developed by Hudsun Media, will also have a localized version filmed in France, as previously announced.

Phoebe Davis | Leo (@flexingphoebs) – Fire Element

It’s getting hot in here! Double Leo entrepreneur, model and fitness competitor Phoebe Davis, 28, is the consummate cosmic Lioness whose roar has scared off more than a couple of players. Now, as the Fire Element on Cosmic Love, this queen is ready to find her “mane” man to claim the adjacent throne. A native of Spokane, Washington, Phoebe lives in San Diego, where she runs a marketing business and a personal brand, “Flexing Phoebs,” inspiring women worldwide to love their bodies, overcome adversity, and embrace personal growth. Will Phoebe fall into the fire-sign trap of burning through her matches…or will she find someone who can keep the blazes lit for the long haul?

Gemini Connor Shennan, 27, represents the Air Element on Cosmic Love. True to his zodiac sign’s curious nature, Connor needs to weigh every option before making a (gulp) decision.

Raised by a Cuban-American mom in New Jersey, Noel lives in Tampa, and hopes to create his own family. But here’s the (Fish) hook: Noel won’t water down his desire for both freedom and security, one of the many paradoxes of Pisces men that drive women crazy…and makes them fall crazy in love.
