'A Suitable Boy' to Premiere on Acorn TV in December
Mark your calendars: Period drama A Suitable Boy will officially come to America this December via streaming service Acorn TV.
The series, based on the classic novel of the same name by Vikram Seth, was adapted for television by Andrew Davies of Sanditon and War and Peace fame. (Though Seth himself served as an executive producer.)
An epic tale of life and love set in post-Partition 1950s India, A Suitable Boy follows the story of Lata Mira, a young university student who is coming of age just as her country is carving out its own identity as a nation and preparing to go to the polls for its first democratic general election. Lata's overbearing mother is hell-bent on finding her a suitable husband but in a world full of daring new ideas, she's determined to decide her own future.
