LATE BLOOMER

Jasmeet has leveled up in life: new apartment, new followers, new girls. So why can’t he shake the funk he’s in? The gang tries to lift his spirits, but things get complicated when Jasmeet goes missing. Meanwhile, Supinder and Gurdeep figure out how to cope with their newly empty nest.

SEASON 1

Late Bloomer is a comedy series that follows the everyday life of Jasmeet Dutta, your average turban wearing ‘live at home’ millennial. Jasmeet, like many others his age, continuously feels like he’s behind in life as he witnesses his peers with seemingly thriving careers and picture perfect marriages. The added pressure as an eldest son within an immigrant household is, of course, not really helping either. Working as a driver for a family run Tiffin business (delivering Indian home cooked meals to students), he decides to start a video blog and share the frustrations of his mediocre attempts at adulthood. As a result, he finds himself striking a chord with a steadily growing internet audience who can relate to his journey.

Throughout Jasmeet’s journey in the show, he crosses paths with a variety of colourful characters, outlandish dilemmas, and trying situations that challenge the very notions of who he is. As a result, Jasmeet begins to question if his “internet life” is actually doing more harm than good as the therapeutic nature of his online persona begins to affect as many bridges as it builds.

SEASON 2

The second season finds Jasmeet finally achieving what he’d hoped for: growing success, perceived independence, and the love of his crush, Rebecca. His life has only gotten better since he packed his bags and drove away from home, proving he was right about his family holding him back, and now he can live out his dream. But eventually, Jasmeet has to face reality when he begins to feel how his unresolved baggage with his family weighs on him. It also becomes clear that his relationship with Rebecca isn’t as perfect as it seemed. This is in part because he’s just transferred the dependence he had on his family to Rebecca, but also because Rebecca has always represented, to Jasmeet, an alternative life. The question is, is it the right life for him?
