‘I’m A Virgo’ Comedy Series: A Mythical Journey Like No Other!

Hey there, fellow entertainment enthusiasts! Get ready to dive into the world of “I’m A Virgo,” the mythical coming-of-age comedy that’s about to take the streaming world by storm. Prime Video just dropped the official trailer and key art for this highly anticipated series, and trust me, it’s gonna be a wild ride.

Emmy-winning actor Jharrel Jerome, known for his outstanding performances in “When They See Us” and “Moonlight,” takes the lead as Cootie, a 13-foot-tall young Black man in the vibrant city of Oakland, California. Raised in seclusion, Cootie breaks free from his comic book and TV show cocoon to experience the real world in all its beauty and contradictions. Along the way, he forms friendships, discovers love, navigates through those oh-so-awkward situations, and even encounters his idol, The Hero, played by the incredible Walton Goggins.

“I’m A Virgo” isn’t your typical coming-of-age tale. It’s a mythical odyssey that questions the very purpose of embarking on a mythical odyssey. Intriguing, right?

But hold on, the excitement doesn’t stop there! The cast of this series is downright badass. We’re talking about Brett Gray, who’ll make you groove with his singing skills that remind his mother of the ’90s group Hi-Five. Then there’s Tony-nominated and Obie-winning actor Kara Young, whose mom was once a Belizean beauty queen. Allius Barnes, whose cousin created the legendary “Kung Fu Fighting” song, will bring his unique charm to the screen. Olivia Washington will dazzle you with her classical piano skills, while Mike Epps will make you laugh with his comedic genius. And let’s not forget Carmen Ejogo, who graced Eric B. & Rakim’s iconic “Paid In Full” music video.

“I’m A Virgo” is a joint venture between Amazon Studios and Media Res Studio, bringing together the creative minds of Boots Riley and Tze Chun as co-showrunners. With Jharrel Jerome and Rebecca Rivo also serving as executive producers, this series is in good hands. Oh, and did I mention the original music and score by the art-pop duo Tune-Yards? It’s going to be an auditory treat!

Mark your calendars, folks, because all seven episodes of “I’m A Virgo” will exclusively premiere on Prime Video worldwide on June 23. It’s just another perk of being a Prime member, giving you access to incredible savings, convenience, and top-notch entertainment in a single membership.
