Soulmates Cast Guide: Where You’ve Seen The Actors Before

AMC’s new anthology series, Soulmates, is all about the idea of using science to find true love, and the stories that explore this concept feature a number of notable TV stars. Created by William Bridges and Brett Goldstein, the six-episode TV show investigates how a futuristic soulmate test can affect an array of relationships. Ahead of the show’s premiere, Soulmates was renewed for a second season.

Soulmates follows characters in each episode, detailing the fallout from a proven “test” that links any living human to their one true love. Though unconventional at first, the soulmate test becomes the norm among the public – even though it has a tendency to ruin already formed romantic relationships. While the test has success, it has also changed the world’s perspective when it comes to all aspects of love.
