Indian American actress Melanie Chandra is teaming up with Insecure writer and producer Amy Aniobi to create a new series for HBO.
Chandra wants the project, titled Attachment, to give a more authentic insight into the world of Indian Americans.
The series tells the story of a first-generation Indian American tech CEO who’s forced to share her tiny New York City apartment with her mother, who’s considering a divorce. The two learn to live with each other — and for themselves.
Chandra, best known for starring in Code Black, will be a consulting producer for Attachment.
“You have NO idea how thrilled I am to finally share this with the world. Dear friend and powerhouse @janiobi and I just sold a show to HBO!!! Over the last 2 years, we’ve been quietly plugging away,” Chandra posted on Instagram.

Produced by Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine, according to the publication, no release date or casting has been announced.
