It's been quite the year for based-on-truth miniseries, with Pam & Tommy making waves. Sharing creative DNA in the shape of show-runner Robert Siegel is Welcome To Chippendales, which stars Kumail Nanjiani, and has a trailer online.
Nanjiani here plays Somen "Steve" Banerjee, a man who immigrated from India to Playa del Rey in California in search of a better life. The entrepreneur strikes gold by turning a seedy bar into a must-visit nighttime attraction, and could have lived happily ever after if, you know, he hadn’t plotted to kill all his associates.
As the trailer underscores, Banerjee will let nothing get in the way of abandoning the life of luxury he achieved… and that will be his downfall.
The miniseries, which was directed by WandaVision's Matt Shakman, also stars Murray Bartlett, Juliette Lewis and Annaleigh Ashford, with Andrew Rannells, Nicola Peltz Beckham and Dan Stevens all set to show up. Welcome To Chippendales will hit Hulu in the US and Disney+ here on November 22 with the first two episodes.
