Mirzapur actor Sheeba Chadha has joined the cast of British star Riz Ahmed's upcoming comedy series for Prime Video.
The untitled half-hour series has been created by Riz and developed under his production company, Left Handed, through their first-look deal with Amazon MGM Studios.
According to entertainment news outlet Variety, Sheeba joined the show's cast along with Aasiya Shah and Sajid Hasan as well as recently announced member Guz Khan.
The details of her role have been kept under wraps.
Sheeba is best known for appearing in three seasons of the hit Prime Video series Mirzapur as well as critically-acclaimed movies such as Badhaai Do, Doctor G, Pagglait, Gully Boy, and Badhaai Ho.
Riz will serve as a writer and co-showrunner with Ben Karlin.
The new show follows Shah Latif (Ahmed), a struggling actor on the cusp of landing the role of a lifetime, only to find himself thrust into a full-blown existential crisis and a trippy conspiracy thriller all at the same time.
The series will mark Riz’s return to the television scene after he starred in The Night Of, for which he won an Emmy award, as well as Girls.
Jax Media and Amazon MGM Studios are backing the show, which is executive produced by Ahmed and Allie Moore for Left-Handed, Jake Fuller for Jax Media, Karlin and Roopesh Parekh.
