After blessing us with an evergreen comedy like 'The Mindy Project', Mindy Kaling is now moving on to coming of age comedies, with 'Never Have I Ever'. The show, slated to premiere next year, will chronicle the life a young teenager growing up as a first-generation South Asian American, with ample instances inspired by Kaling's own experience growing up. Here's all you need to know about it.
Release date:

Plot:
Borrowing from Kaling's real-life experiences while growing up, the upcoming Netflix comedy from her will introduce us to Devi, the Indian-American teenager as she comes of age. The show is set in modern-day America. We saw glimpses of a teenager from a similar ethnicity in flashbacks of Kaling's famous Fox rom-com series 'The Mindy Project', where Kaling's titular character, called Mindy Lahiri was working as a flourishing OB-Gyn in New York. But this time things are getting more elaborate and detailed, as the entire series will focus on Devi's coming of age.
Cast:
Newcomer Maitreyi Ramakrishnan of Tamil/Canadian descent is going to play the role of Devi, the young girl whose story we will come across in 'Never Have I Ever'. Tennis maestro John McEnroe will serve as the narrator for the series, with the rest of the cast yet to be announced.
Creator:
Kaling co-created 'Never Have I Ever' with her Mindy Project writer-producer Lang Fisher. The duo is also serving as showrunners, and they are executive producing too, alongside Howard Klein, David Miner, and Tristam Shapeero.
