Wedding Season release date UK: what time is it out on Netflix, what is 2022 movie about, cast and trailer

It is wedding season, so it’s no surprise that Netflix have treated viewers to a rom-com which centres on a mis-matched couple who fall in love during the said season.

The film not only documents the couple’s love story, but also the wider impact weddings have on family.

It’s heart-warming, touching and funny - a perfect watch for a warm summer evening.

But, what exactly is Wedding Season about, who is in the cast and how can you watch?

Here’s everything you need to know.

What is Wedding Season about?

Wedding Season is a Netflix romantic comedy about an Indian-American man and a woman who pretend to be dating because they are fed up with their parents asking them when they are going to get married.

Asha is a successful woman who’s career-focused lifestyle doesn’t sit well with her parents’ vision of finding her a suitable husband.

Fed up with being set up and her mother creating dating profiles for her without her knowledge, Asha pretends to date Ravi - whose parents have also set up a dating profile on his behalf.

Ravi is something of Asha’s opposite due to him being extremely laid back and out of work.

Unsurprisingly, their huge differences mean their first date doesn’t go well, but Asha and Ravi agree to pretend to date while they attend a summer of weddings so they can stop their parents pestering them about their dating life and intentions for marriage.

One of the people getting married is Asha’s sister Priya who is the first person in her family to marry outside her nationality, although her fiancée Nick is still trying to be the model Indian husband.

Asha and Ravi do then find, of course, find themselves genuinely falling for each other when they spend so much time together.
