The world’s gone mad, right, which means there’s no better time for a lighthearted romantic comedy. Netflix hopes to brighten your days – or at least a couple of hours – with Wedding Season which just unveiled a new trailer.
Pallavi Sharda and Suraj Sharma star as a couple of single adults who decide to team up to fake out their parents during wedding season. The cast also includes Arianna Afsar, Sean Kleier, Veena Sood, Manoj Sood, Sonia Dhillon Tully, Damian Thompson, Ruth Goodwin, Ronica Sajnani, Julius Cho, and Rizwan Manji.
Tom Dey (Failure to Launch) directs from a screenplay by Shiwani Srivastava. Swati Shetty, Tony Hernandez, John Hodges produce, and Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, Jake Fuller, Matt Code, Ryan M. Murphy, and John Rhodes executive produce.
Wedding Season premieres on Netflix on August 4, 2022.
The Plot: “After breaking off her engagement, leaving a successful banking career behind in the city, and moving to New Jersey for a fresh start, Asha (Sharda) couldn’t feel more alive. Her mother, on the other hand, thinks that her oldest daughter is about to miss a lifetime of happiness if she doesn’t take her focus away from her new startup job and place it on finding a husband instead. Taking matters into her own hands, Asha’s mother creates an online dating profile in order to set Asha up with a “perfect” match.
Enter Ravi (Sharma) — or rather Ravi’s parents — who have the exact same idea for their son. Asha and Ravi’s reluctant first date is a bust, and they quickly discover that each is in a seemingly different place in their life right now. After realizing her mother is relentless and will not give up, Asha proposes a plan to Ravi that would be a win-win for both: a pretend relationship to be each other’s date to get through the upcoming wedding season.
Through countless invitations, dances and dresses in the next three months, Asha and Ravi slowly come to find that they might have more in common than they think. Maybe their parents were onto something after all.”
