Emmy-winning actor Jharrel Jerome gets supersized in I’m a Virgo, Prime Video’s new show about a giant Black man who leaves home to explore the world around him. The dark comedy, coming-of-age series premieres on Friday (June 23).

I’m a Virgo centers around Cootie (Jerome), a 13-foot-tall man from Oakland, Calif., whose family hides him from the world for most of his life. After tapping into his earth sign energy (“I’m a Virgo, and Virgos love adventure,” he proclaims in the trailer), Cootie breaks free and sets off on a fantastical joyride.

Along the way, he forges friendships, falls in love, “navigates the awkward situations” and meets his idol — a superhero named The Hero (Walton Goggins).  

Created and executive produced by Boots Riley, I’m a Virgo is described by Amazon Studios as a “mythical odyssey that questions the purpose of the mythical odyssey.” The show’s cast includes Mike Epps, Carmen Ejogo, Olivia Washington, Brett Gray, Kara Young and Allius Barnes.

Tze Chun, Michael Ellenberg, Lindsey Springer, Rebecca Rivo and Jerome executive produced the show alongside Riley.
