Nasim Pedrad stars as a desperate 14-year-old boy craving social acceptance in TBS daring cringe comedy.
Fourteen-year-old Ferydoon Chad Amani is a little jerk. He s selfish, obsessive and impatient. He weeps at the drop of a hat. He s desperate for popularity but can barely walk through a doorway without tripping over himself. He casually calls his little sister a dick and a whore in everyday conversation, and is so peevish that he demands presents on
her birthday. Worst of all, he thinks he s grown up.
He s an utter delight.
Developed for Fox five years ago before moving to TBS, the daring and ribald single-cam sitcom
It is set to premiere on TBS at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 6.
“Chad” follows a 14-year-old pubescent Persian boy, played by Pedrad, as he navigates his first year of high school on a mission to become popular.
Chad’s friendships and sanity are pushed to the limits as he uses every tactic at his disposal to befriend the cool kids, while enduring his mother’s new dating life and reconciling with his cultural identity.
The series is all about teen drama, coloring outside of the lines, an adult’s take on what it’s like to be a 14-year-old. It would be a completely different show if Chad was played by an actual teenager. The show taps into the universal sensation of feeling like an outsider with heritage adding an additional layer. (Everyone remembers what it’s like to be a teenager. Everyone goes through an awkward stage no matter who you are.)
