Cold coffee, connections, and cliques. The gang’s back together and taking a huge leap. Jumping ahead three years from where Season 2 left off, Netflix teased fans yesterday with the trailer of the highly-anticipated YA series, ‘Mismatched’ Season 3.

From career dreams to complicated relationships, this season hits closer to home than ever before. Produced by RSVP Movies, the Netflix series will drop on December 13, the streamer said in a statement.

Opening with the iconic cold coffee that first brought Rishi (Rohit Saraf) and Dimple (Prajakta Koli) together, the trailer dives straight into their next chapter. The duo has left the Aravali Institute behind for a new campus in Hyderabad as they enter the next phase of their relationship. Love meets tech as the two tackle their ambitions and the effort it takes to stay in love while exploring what it means to live two lives

Once bitter rivals, Rishi and Anmol (Taaruk Raina) find themselves on the same team at the virtual-reality lab Betterverse, proving this season is all about flipping the script. A new character, Rith (Lauren Robinson), aims to thrive in this virtual world as Celina (Muskkaan Jaferi) helps them fit in, while Krish (Abhinav Sharma) continues to find his place. Sid sir (Rannvijay Singha) and Zeenat (Vidya Malavade) are starting anew, adopting fresh plans — a fitting parallel to the many “worlds” the gang navigates in ‘Mismatched’, an official gist of the series stated.

Producer Ronnie Screwvala said in a statement, “ ‘Mismatched’ Season 3 is a milestone that reflects the love and effort of everyone involved. This season is incredibly close to our hearts as it takes on themes that truly resonate — growing together, embracing inclusivity, and facing life’s tough moments. It’s a reminder that even in life’s complexities, there’s beauty in connection and understanding.

“With our long-standing partnership with Netflix, we really look forward to bringing this story to life and connecting with audiences across the world.”

Tanya Bami, Series Head, Netflix India added, “Tis the season to be jolly, because the holidays and ‘Mismatched’ S03 are here. We are thrilled to partner with RSVP to bring another heart-warming season of this beloved franchise. Over the last two seasons, ‘Mismatched’ has gained immense fandom and popularity for being an authentic YA story of our times.”

With the soulful strains of ‘Ishq Hai’ setting the tone, the trailer unfolds a mosaic of emotions. As each character grapples with their new realities, they’ll discover that sometimes, the hardest battles are fought within.

Featuring Prajakta Koli, Rohit Saraf, Rannvijay Singha, Taaruk Raina, Vidya Malavade, Ahsaas Channa, Abhinav Sharma, Muskkaan Jaferi and newcomers Lauren Robinson, Garima Yajnik and Akshat Singh, the new season brings dreams, dilemmas, and drama.

‘Mismatched’ Season 3 starts streaming from December 13 on Netflix.
