OMNI to air Canadian-made South Asian drama

A new dramatic series from Rogers OMNI Television and producer North American Media, Canadian Desi, will be coming to TV screens Saturday, Oct. 1 at 8 p.m. It will be appearing on OMNI.2. The 13-part series will run two back-to-back episodes each week, wrapping up in mid-November. The series runs in Urdu/Hindi (people who speak these languages can understand each other) with an English version coming next year. Canadian Desi follows the lives of three South Asian families of varied descent living in suburban Canada as they try to cope with clashes between the old world and the new and other issues.
