Summary
Set in Cambridge, MA, Unaccustomed Earth follows an elite Indian-American community as they grapple with love, desire, and belonging through a star-crossed romance that escalates into a scandalous affair. Produced by John Wells (The Pitt) and Madhuri Shekar (3 Body Problem), the series features Nisha Ganatra directing the pilot and executive producing alongside Wells. With a stellar cast including Jhumpa Lahiri, Erica Saleh, Erin Jontow, and Celia Costas, this is an unputdownable look at immigration's complexities, building on Wells' success with "Max’s The Pitt" and Shekar's film adaptation of her play.
