Amazon Studios dropped the trailer for their upcoming superhero comedy ‘I’m A Virgo.’ It is an upcoming television series that will stream the first season onto Prime Video and is a co-production with Media Res Studio.

“Prime Video released the official trailer and key art to the highly anticipated mythical coming-of-age comedy I’m A Virgo, starring Emmy-winning actor Jharrel Jerome (When They See Us, Moonlight). The series is created, written, and executive produced by colorful-sock-wearing 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 June 23,” Amazon said on their website.

You can watch the trailer below:

The show also stars Brett Gray (On My Block, Star Trek: Prodigy), Kara Young (The Punisher), Allius Barnes (PEN15, Cruel Summer, SHRIEK), Olivia Washington (Breaking, The Tragedy of Macbeth, The Little Things), Mike Epps (The Upshaws, Dolemite Is My Name), and Carmen Ejogo (True Detective, Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, It Comes at Night).

Amazon Studios describes the synopsis 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.”

Boots Riley and Tze Chun are on board as the showrunners. Jerome also is on board as an executive producer.
