Amazon Prime Video has confirmed the launch date of its Indian youth reality show Skulls and Roses, hosted by popular content creators Raghu Ram and Rajiv Lakshman, as 30 August.
An Amazon original, created in association with Monozygotic Solutions, the format is billed as having a bold and adventurous take on love and survival. Amazon describes Skulls and Roses as an ultimate test of choice - between love, trust, survival and betrayal and it forces participants to choose between ‘WE’ (love) and ‘ME’ (self-preservation).All ten episodes of the show, which is shot in South Africa, will be available to stream across 200 countries and territories where Amazon Prime Video is available.
“At Amazon Prime Video, we are always looking to create content that appeals to different sets of audiences. And with a bold new unscripted Amazon Original show like Skulls and Roses, we have again taken a disruptive route to create a series that will appeal to young audiences everywhere,” said Vijay Subramaniam, director and head, content, Amazon Prime Video India.
“We are excited to have found perfect collaborators in Monozygotic who really understand the pulse of this customer segment and have created a bold and thrilling concept that combines adventure and romance in a way that’s never been seen before”.
The show explores the increasing difficulty young couples are having committing to a relationship, given the prevalence of dating apps and the opportunity for the “stress free life choices of self love and self growth”, said Raghu Ram, host and producer, Monozygotic.
Rajiv Lakshman, fellow host and producer, Monozygotic said: “What will you choose if ‘Love’ is the best chance to stay in paradise, but ‘Survival’ can only happen alone? I think that is an intriguing concept for us to delve into. With this venture, we bring the excitement of reality shows, on-demand, to a personal screen at your home, college or commute. And in a marked departure from reality TV format, viewers can binge watch all episodes starting August 30.”
