From Emmy-nominated creator Vijal Patel comes the new Prime Video comedy series, The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh. The series, which is based on Patel’s own personal experiences, follows the Pradeep family as they navigate their first months in America after moving from India. Uniquely told through hilarious and often conflicting flashbacks from an interrogation room, the family recounts their interactions with a neighboring family who is the polar opposite of them, often leading to many unforeseen twists.

Patel, who also serves as writer and executive producer on the series, recently spoke with SciFi Vision about creating the series, including which character specifically comes from his own experiences, his family’s reaction to the series, and much more.
