Written In The Stars is the brand new dating show, hosted by Clara Amfo, from discovery+ that uses expertise from globally renowned astrologers to help 12 singles find true love. Written In The Stars is here to show you there's a lot more to your perfect match than their zodiac sign - and here's how.

Any true lovers of astrology are aware that reading your astrology birth chart is an absolute must when it comes to getting a more rounded look at your stars. Just ask those in the know - astrologers Michele Knight-Waite, Colin Bedell, and Francesca Oddie - who believe they've cracked the code to each of the contestants' perfect match. 

Michele, Colin, and Francesca truly believe that they've found each contestant their perfect astrological match and will work tirelessly to help them get to know each other and, ultimately, fall head over heels.

Some contestants are cynical regarding the ancient practice of looking to the stars for guidance, but as relationships develop they'll see their belief systems challenged in the quest for true love.

Can an Aquarius get fierce for a Pisces, and is it true what they say about Scorpios? So, without further ado, let’s meet our 12 singles!
