Comedian Brett Goldstein has signed up to co-write a major new American anthology series for cable network AMC

The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that Goldstein will be working alongside Will Bridges, who wrote the acclaimed Black Mirror episode USS Callister.

It is based on a short film Bridges and Goldstein wrote, For Life, and will examine what happens when everyone can find their soulmate.

Goldstein told Hollywood Reporter: "I am extremely excited and honored to make our show about soulmates with AMC, the network responsible for at least two of my favorite shows, one of which I definitely watched legally.”

David Madden, president of programming for AMC Networks and AMC Studios added: "The show explores how technological innovation can impact the most delicate matters of the heart, and each episode will turn personal life choices into high-stakes drama. It’s a fresh yet relatable idea, portrayed through wildly entertaining tales with unexpected twists, humor and meaningful emotion."
