A trailer and poster have been released for I’m A Virgo, a fantastical coming-of-age comedy set to debut on Prime Video next month. The new series stars Emmy-winning actor Jharrel Jerome (When They See Us, Moonlight), and is created, written, and executive produced by filmmaker Boots Riley (Sorry to Bother You), who directed all seven episodes.
Jerome also serves as an executive producer. All seven episodes of the Amazon Original series will be available exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories around the world on 23rd June.
The synopsis is as follows:
I’m A Virgo is a darkly comedic fantastical coming-of-age joyride about Cootie (Jerome), a 13-foot-tall young black man in Oakland, California. Having grown up hidden away, passing time on a diet of comic books and TV shows, he escapes to experience the beauty and contradictions of the real world. He forms friendships, finds love, navigates awkward situations, and encounters his idol, a real-life superhero named The Hero, played by Walton Goggins (The Hateful Eight, The Righteous Gemstones). I’m A Virgo is a mythical odyssey that questions the purpose of the mythical odyssey.
