Code-Switched is a comedy-drama series that follows the interconnected lives of five South Asian-American roommates and friends trying to blaze their own trails in a world of high-expectations, fleeting relationships, and gentrified workplaces.
This is a comedy-drama about a group of South Asian-Americans juggling love, work, and family in Chicago.
Code-Switched showcases a SPECTRUM of South Asian-American characters of color through an exploration of millennial life, identity, and what it means to carry the baton of an immigrant generation while pursuing your own.
The team wanted to challenge the representation of South Asians in media with characters and stories covering the SPECTRUM of South Asian-Americans (Women, men, Sikhs, Hindus, Muslims, LGBTQIA, etc. they're all here!) and exploring their lives in a three-dimensional way.
Powered by rising South Asian-American comedians, artists, musicians, this series has been a grass-roots of independence and community to fight for the right to tell our own stories.
We spoke to Sonal Agarwal, Saurabh Pandey, Stephen George, Sabeen Sidiqui and Vik Pandya about the series and their lives as actors, stand up comics in Chicago. Karan Sunil's writing and direction are superb and this is a series to be watched for sure.
