We announced the closure on 14 May 2020 on the Guardian Soulmates site with a message to our soulmates: The end is finally here – after more than 15 years of online dating Guardian Soulmates will be closing this June. There are so many dating apps now, so many ways to meet people, which are often free and very quick.

What happens in Soulmates?

You will experience an instant, life-altering connection with your soulmate. This is because you do, in fact, know them on a soul level, even before you meet them in the physical realm. As your souls will recognize each other, you will feel like you can trust them with anything, even when you barely just met them.

Is Soulmates worth watching?

Yes, its grim, but the series is beautifully made, especially The Lovers episode, with an excellent cast. Soulmates poses some interesting questions, has some interesting characters, but the episodes are just that bit too uneven for it to be a Must Watch.
