Never Have I Ever is an American comedy-drama television series starring Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, created by Mindy Kaling and Lang Fisher. Though it takes place in the San Fernando Valley, the show has been reported to be loosely based on Kaling's childhood experiences in the Boston area,[1] while Kaling herself has said it is based "in the spirit of my childhood".[2] It premiered on Netflix on April 27, 2020, and is about an Indian-American high school student dealing with the sudden death of her father and the bumpy journey through her last three years of high school.[3][4][5] The series has received critical acclaim.[6]

The series has been described as a watershed moment for South Asian representation in Hollywood and has been praised for breaking Asian stereotypes.[7][8][9] On July 1, 2020, Netflix renewed the series for a second season,[10] which premiered on July 15, 2021.[11] Netflix renewed the series for a third season on August 19, 2021,[12] which was released on August 12, 2022, and consists of 10 episodes,[13][14] and a fourth and final season which released on June 8, 2023.[15]
