Eternally Confused and Eager for Love, the upcoming young-adult dramedy series starring Rahul Bose and Jim Sarbh, is set to premiere on Netflix on March 18.
Written, created, and directed by Rahul Nair, the series also features Vihaan Samat, Suchitra Pillai, Ankur Rathee and Dalai. The trailer for the series will be released on Friday.
The streaming giant describes the story as one that revolves around Ray (Samat), an awkward 24-year-old who is navigating adulthood and romance in the 21st century. He does this with the help of ‘Wiz’, a personification of his inner voice, who tells us what Ray cannot say out loud. In a quest to understand if he wants sex, love or a relationship, Ray goes through a series of work-life misadventures and indecisions, continually finding himself “eternally confused and eager for love.”
Eternally Confused and Eager for Love is produced by Zoya Akhtar’s Tiger Baby Films and Farhan Akhtar’s Excel Entertainment, and marks their first collaboration with Netflix. Kartik Shah is the creative producer for the series, while Ritesh Sidhwani, Reema Kagti, Kassim Jagmagia, Angad Dev Singh, and Zoya Parvin are on board as executive producers.
Sidhwani, co-founder of Excel Entertainment, refers to the series as a “labour of love.” He adds, “Rahul Nair has been able to capture the reality and hilarity of what most of today’s young people deal with – it also has a lot of heart, and marks the beginning of our association with Netflix.”

Debutant writer and director Rahul Nair brings a distinctive voice to the series and has beautifully captured the day-to-day dilemmas of friendships, dating and relationships in these modern times. With this warm-hearted entertainer, we mark the beginning of our association with the powerhouse storytellers, Tiger Baby and Excel Entertainment.”
