Meet the Cosmic Love contestants hoping the stars will align to deliver their ultimate soulmate.
Cosmic Love is Amazon Prime Video’s new dating show with a twist, offering viewers never-seen-before insight into an imaginative social experiment. Unlike most contemporary ways of finding love, the 10-part series uses the centuries old method of astrology to find contestants’ perfect love matches. Four individuals representing one of the four elements of astrology – Air, Fire, Water, Earth – travel to a retreat run by a mystical guide. In an Astro Chamber voiced by Cree Summer, the show’s astrologers Ophira and Tali Edut known as The AstroTwins, guide their journey. They are joined by 16 other contestants where astrological matchmaking will help them match, date, and possibly eliminate those matched to them by the stars. Here, we uncover everything we know about the contestants taking part who are looking for love cosmic style.
Dating shows are nothing new to viewers, albeit with varying success rates. Enthusiasts keen to know which Love Island couples are still together need look no further. A way to test whether to walk from a relationship or continue, The Ultimatum gave those watching at home an inside look into whether couples continued or ended their relationships. On the other side of the world, Married at First Sight Australia season 9 offered up plenty of drama.
