o JUSTIN BARTHA as Adam Weiss. Affable husband of Ruma, Adam is a sci-fi author and a proud stay-at-home dad to Hema. He loves his family, and despite his artistic dreaminess, can often be the grounding voice of reason to his high-powered wife, and emotional 16-year daughter.

o JAYANT KRIPALANI as Pranab Mukherjee. A Bengali Marxist who immigrated to the United States in his 20s. Pranab is a retired professor who now spends his days enjoying his garden, his family, and his books. When his wife passed away a year ago, Pranab thought he would be on his own forever, but he unexpectedly and inexplicably fell in love with a new woman... and is hiding it from his disapproving children.

o PARVEEN KAUR as Nina Singh. Nina is a brilliant and driven Harvard med student, on her way to being valedictorian, with both beauty and ambition. Newly engaged to the man of her dreams, Amit, she's determined to build a perfect life. When doubts arise, she realizes her fiancé may not be the man she thought she knew.

o SWAYAM BHATIA as Sudha Menon. Hema's best friend and confidant. She is funny, confident, queer, and has never met an opinion she would not share.

o PALOMI GHOSH as Anjali Menon. The formidable dance teacher to the local Indian community, and one of Ruma's close friends. She lost her husband a decade back, and has built back her life, her work, and her place in this community inch by inch, with tenacious grit. Has a rocky, combative relationship with her kids, but is genuinely trying her best.

· Format: Eight Episodes

· Logline: Inspired by the internationally beloved Jhumpa Lahiri short story collection of the same name, Unaccustomed Earth is an epic, soapy, and culturally vibrant drama about a tight-knit Indian American community navigating love, desire, and belonging. Rich with nuance, passion, and unforgettable characters, Unaccustomed Earth invites you into the elite and insular Indian-American community of Cambridge, MA. When a star-crossed romance between a devoted wife and her long-lost love comes to light, a scandalous affair is born, and new battle lines are drawn in this intensely interconnected immigrant community.

· Showrunner/Writer: Madhuri Shekar (3 Body Problem, The Nevers)

· Executive Producers: Madhuri Shekar, John Wells, Ritesh Batra, Jhumpa Lahiri, Nisha Ganatra, Erica Saleh, Erin Jontow, Celia Costas
