New Intriguing Comedy Series Alert! An irreverent take on family, love, and culture with a new cultural spin-off, How to Ruin Diwali: Meet The Parents is launching on Netflix on 30 October. From Burnt Onion Productions, in collaboration with producer Jayan Moodley (The Kandasamys) and the rich tradition of Moodley’s South African Indian family-centered comedy, the story follows an interracial couple whose engagement brings two very different families and cultures together, setting the stage for plenty of humor, misunderstandings, and family drama.
A hidden engagement forces a proud Zulu family and an Indian medical dynasty under one roof as secrets and colliding customs threaten to derail Diwali.
When overachieving perfectionist Mmabatho Nkomo meets her fiancé’s traditional Indian family for the first time, her desperate attempt to impress backfires when she accidentally exposes her future father-in-law’s secret affair. With Diwali only days away, Mmabatho must navigate unfamiliar cultural territory and reunite the family she has torn apart without causing even more chaos. A first-of-its-kind collaboration between Burnt Onion Productions and Urban Vision, the comedy stars Rosemary Zimu-Mnguni, Kyle Clark, Jailoshini Naidoo, Koobeshen Naidoo, Sonia Mbele, Meshack Mavuso, Luthando ‘BU’Mthembu, Denise Zimba, Ashish Gangapersad and more.
