The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh Drops October 17 on Prime Video; Ellen's Final Comedy Special
One mystery concerning The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh has been solved: Prime Video announced that the highly anticipated Original comedy series will premiere all eight half-hour episodes on October 17 exclusively on Prime Video in the U.S., UK, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Austria, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Uruguay, Venezuela, and India, and on Amazon Freevee in the U.S., UK, and Germany. Inspired by the personal experiences of Emmy-nominated creator Vijal Patel (black-ish, The Middle), The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh follows the Pradeep family and the events of their first few months after moving to America from India. As told through hilarious (and often conflicting) flashbacks from an interrogation room, the Pradeeps quickly find themselves embroiled - romantically, personally, and professionally - with a polar-opposite neighborhood family, leading to a predicament with many surprising twists.
Sahana Srinivasan (Bhanu Pradeep), Arjun Sriram (Kamal Pradeep), Ashwin Sakthivel (Vinod Pradeep), and Nicholas Hamilton (Stu Mills) star alongside Andrews, Vee, Hilty, and Suplee, with Pete Holmes (Dark Suit) and Romy Rosemont (Light Suit) appearing as special guest stars.
Iconic comedian, talk show host, actor and Emmy-Award winner Ellen DeGeneres returns for her second Netflix comedy special, Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval, which will premiere globally on September 24. The final comedy special of her historic career, Ellen gets personal and reveals what she's been doing since being "kicked out of show business." From the mundane world of raising chickens and parallel parking to the harsh reality of becoming a brand name celebrity, she goes deep into her stand-up roots and brings the laughs through life's most real and absurd realities. This marks Ellen's second original comedy special with Netflix, after 2018's Relatable. The special will be Ellen's last comedy special of her career.
