Pro Tip

The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh is available on Prime Video and Amazon Freevee in many countries, but not everywhere. For example, if you're in Canada or another region where the show isn't accessible, geo-restrictions may prevent you from streaming. The good news? There's an easy way around this. With a risk-free VPN like NordVPN, you can unlock The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh from anywhere in the world, making streaming simple and hassle-free!

Plot

Inspired by the personal experiences of Emmy-nominated creator Vijal Patel, The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh follows the Pradeep family as they navigate their first months in America after moving from India. 

The comedy show centers on patriarch Mahesh and matriarch Sudha as they adjust to their new life with their three kids—Bhanu, Kamal, and Vinod.

Told through flashbacks from an interrogation room, the family finds themselves in a series of comedic and surprising entanglements with their polar-opposite neighbors, leading to unexpected twists in their romantic, personal, and professional lives.
