SERIES PREMIERE 1979. Leila- a 19-year-old Pakistani-Canadian girl- stands on the cusp of adulthood- eager to experience the “real world” for the first time. With a head full of Hollywood dreams and a penchant for pulp novels- she ventures to California to connect with her estranged uncle—her “Chachu”—a middle-aged- semi-retired private eye who gained brief fame after marrying the starlet he was initially hired to find. But when Chachu’s wife goes missing once again- the two are forced on an impromptu road trip to track her down—with Leila navigating young adulthood and Chachu confronting his own mortality and regrets. Inspired by her own coming-of-age experiences in the entertainment industry- CHACHU is the solo writing debut of superstar IMAN VELLANI (Ms. Marvel)- a reinterpretation of the classic neo-noir private investigator story brilliantly illustrated by MARIANNA IGNAZZI (EXQUISITE CORPSES) and colored by JORDIE BELLAIRE (Absolute Wonder Woman).
