Choose Love is Netflix's first-ever interactive rom-com that will put the power in your hands.
Yes, you read that right. In a world where we're usually left disappointed with the endings of some of our favourite shows and movies, we can take matters into our own hands when deciding how the protagonist gets her happily ever after.
From director Stuart McDonald, the man who gave us A Perfect Pairing and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, the streamer's exciting new comedy follows the story of Cami, who, with the perfect job as a recording engineer and a great boyfriend, seems to have it all.
“Thick girls are having a moment because we are b*tch!”
However, when she's overcome with a nagging feeling that something is missing in her life, she begins to develop feelings for a hunky new flame Rex. But wait, it doesn't end there, as she also had an old love return to her life.
So, what does one do when faced with so many choices that could each lead to a completely different life? Well, if you're a fictional character, leave it to the viewers to decide what they want to see!
Basically, along the way, you will have the option to decide how Cami's life turns out, and her fate is in your hands. No pressure.
So, will she stay put with her boyfriend Paul, succumb to the exciting new charm of British musician Rex, or run back to the one who got away?
In the same vein as Netflix's other interactive titles such as Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, Cat Burglar and Headspace: Unwind Your Mind and Trivia Quest, viewers will also have the opportunity to rewind and choose another happy ending if they didn't like what they had initially picked. The show essentially sets it up as something you can watch repeatedly and never get bored.
The lengthy trailer for Choose Love was recently released by Netflix, with the Twitter caption: "The steady boyfriend. The one who got away. The charming rock star. You decide who Cami ends up with in this interactive rom-com!" You can watch it below.
Netflix fans are undoubtedly excited and a little intrigued with the upcoming new movie, with one person gushing: "Love the concept! Can't wait to watch!"
Another joked: "I can't even make decisions for myself and now I have to do it for someone else?? i'm already overthinking."
So, who are the actors bringing the interactive project to life? Well, former Disney Channel star Laura Marano takes on the leading lady role of Cami, while the three men who she (or shall we say you) will decide between include Scott Michael Foster, Avan Jogia and Jordi Webber. May the best man win.
Choose Love will land on Netflix on 31 August.
