“What’s popping?” asks a teenage girl praying before a Hindu shrine in a new trailer for “Never Have I Ever.” Self-described as the gods’ “favorite Hindu girl in the San Fernando Valley,” Devi Vishwakumar (newcomer Maitreyi Ramakrishnan) is a first-generation Indian-American highschooler who has a number of requests — less armpit hair and a boyfriend who is a “stone-cold hottie” among them.
Mindy Kaling created “Never Have I Ever” and the series is based on the “Office” alumna and “Late Night” screenwriter and star’s own childhood in suburban Massachusetts. Lang Fisher, who previously worked with Kaling on “The Mindy Project,” serves as showrunner on the coming-of-age comedy.
You can catch “Never Have I Ever” on Netflix beginning April 27.
