Wedding Season (2022)

Ivan Kaye stars as Mr Delaney, apparently Hugo Delaney’s (George Webster) father who seems to be the husband of Rosa Salazar’s character Katie in the first original British TV series of DisneyPlus Wedding Season.

That makes Ivan Rosa Salazar’s TV father-in-law.

The series is a crime comedy with a concept that sounds original and somewhat quirky. The story

centers on Katie, a beautiful bride who we meet on her wedding day surrounded by the dead bodies of her new husband and every member of his family. The police think Katie’s lover Stefan did it. Stefan thinks Katie did it. Katie thinks her ex-husband did it. No one knows what the truth is.

So, this looks like Ivan is going to make an ENTRANCE as a corpse this time.

The story is written by Oliver Lyttleton and the director is George Kane, the same person who also directed Ivan’s upcoming comedy feature Apocalypse Clown where he plays a leading role.

A further interesting coincidence is that the lover of Rosa Salazar’s character has also played a role in the Vikings spin-off Vikings: Valhalla while Ivan starred as King Aelle in Vikings.

According to Ivan’s Spotlight page, Mr Delaney is a recurring character. That should guarantee appearances in 3 or more episodes out of 8.

Ivan has been filming for this part from mid-September to November 2021.

*Update 25 July 2022*

Today, Disney+ announced that the series will be released on 8 September 2022 on Disney+ globally, on Star in Latin America and on Hulu in the US.

First looks include one shot that shows the bride surrounded by dead family members and we are one hundred per cent certain that the man to her right is Ivan (we recognize his hair and hand).

More of the story has been revealed as well:

We now know that Katie (Rosa Salazar) and Stefan (Gavin Drea) fall in love with each other at a wedding when Katie is already engaged with the son of Ivan’s character. After the death of her prospective husband and his family at her own wedding two months later, Katie has to go on the run with her lover to prove their innocence.

Hence, the “action-thriller” element becomes clearer while the comedy element is already apparent in the bizarre idea of a wedding full of corpses.

We also know now that Ivan is set to appear in 5 out of 8 episodes (1-3, 6 and 7) and will keep you updated in case any differing info becomes available.
