Mediocre marriages. Awkward first dates. Unwanted advances. What if in the future finding ‘the one’ was as simple as taking a test that would, with 100% accuracy, reveal who your soulmate was? That’s the intriguing setup of AMC’s new six-part anthology series, boasting a bevy of TV star talent, and created by Brett Goldstein and Black Mirror writer Will Bridges. So, swipe right if you’re interested – well, scroll down – and we’ll explain how you can watch Soulmates online from wherever you are today.

Soulmates Cheat Sheet

AMC’s six-part series debuts on Monday, October 5 at 10pm ET/PT and 9pm CT with the Sarah Snook and Kingsley Ben-Adir starring episode, ‘Watershed’. All subsequent episodes are broadcast weekly at the same time. Cord-cutters can stream AMC with an OTT service like Sling TV (opens in new tab), which provides a 3-day free trial (opens in new tab) and other special offers. See below for more details.

Set fifteen years in the future, Soulmates lands somewhere between The Twilight Zone and Love at First Sight, with each of its six episodes charting the journey of a different couple as they wrestle with the temptation of taking – or thinking about taking – such a test. Starring Sarah Snook (Succession) and Kingsley Ben-Adir (The Comey Rule) as two high school sweethearts, inaugural episode ‘Watershed’ explores how the test threatens their ostensibly happy marriage: posing a dilemma that forces them to question just how much they love each other, and whether in fact they could have done better.

Starring a who’s who of the small screen – Charlie Heaton (Stranger Things), Maria Åkerman (Billions), Bill Skarsgård (Castle Rock), David Costabile (The Wire, Breaking Bad), Georgina Campbell (Black Mirror), Nathan Stewart-Jarrett (Misfits, Candyman), and many more – this series is an emotionally bruising yet hopeful look at modern love. It’s already been greenlit for a second season, so it must be something special.
