Netflix’s romcom series Mismatched, starring Prajakta Koli and Rohit Saraf, is set to return with Season 3 on December 13, the streamer announced on Thursday, sharing a video featuring the lead actors.
“WE HAVE A DATE!!! ☕️💕Mismatched Season 3 arrives on 13 December, only on Netflix,” the post reads alongside the video in which Prajakta and Rohit reminisce about the time when their characters, Dimple and Rishi, first met in the show.
In the video, when the actors were asked about how their characters met, they shared an anecdote from Season 1. Rohit’s character, the hopeless romantic Rishi, approached Prajakta’s character, the ambitious coder Dimple, at the academy of their summer course after seeing her picture on a matrimonial website. In the scene, Rishi greets Dimple with, "Hello, future wife," only to have cold coffee thrown in his face by her.
The video ends with the duo announcing the release date of Mismatched Season 3 by flaunting a coffee cup that has “See you on 13th Dec” written on it.
Adapted from Sandhya Menon’s 2017 novel When Dimple Met Rishi, Mismatched premiered on November 20, 2020, on Netflix and garnered a positive response from audiences.
On March 3, 2021, the series was renewed for a second season, which premiered on Netflix on October 14, 2022.
Helmed by Akarsh Khurana and Nipun Dharmadhikar, the coming-of-age romantic drama follows the story of Rishi Singh Shekhawat (Rohit Saraf), who falls in love with a tech wizard Dimple Ahuja (Prajakta Kohli). The season ended with Dimple blaming her boyfriend Rishi for leaking information about the mobile app she was working on. As the couple break up, Dimple kisses her project partner Harsh (Vihaan Samat) on an impulse.
In Season 2, Dimple is guilty about the kiss and wants to clear things up with Rishi. When they meet, Rishi spills coffee on Dimple just as she had when they first met in Season 1. Both seek solace in other people before realising they are in love with each other.
Backed by Ronnie Screwvala’s RSVP Movies, the upcoming season will also star Ranvijay Singh, Vidya Malvade, Vihaan Samat, Devyani Shorey, Priya Banerjee, Taaruk Raina, Muskkaan Jaferi, Akarsh Khurana and Ahsaas Channa in important roles.
