Production has officially begun on Unaccustomed Earth, Netflix‘s upcoming adaptation of Jhumpa Lahiri’s award-winning collection of short stories. The eight-episode drama series is being adapted by 3 Body Problem writer Madhuri Shekar, who is also serving as showrunner and executive producer.

Freida Pinto and Siddharth lead the cast as the show’s primary love interests whose long-buried romance threatens to upend not only their lives, but the elite Indian American community around them.
