Mindy and I were goody-goodies who were dorks and maybe each had like half a boyfriend.” I can’t imagine us ever like, ‘Alright now she goes and does heroin.’ We operate pretty succinctly and safely in the TV-14 space, and also we weren’t like Euphoria teens. We write about strivers and dorks and people who are underestimated.”Īdded Fisher, “Mindy and I are not cool enough to write Euphoria. “I watch that show on the edge of my seat, vicariously, but I feel like nerds lusting over guys is more what we feel comfortable writing about so that’s why we do this. I think he has a lot to say about things like sex and drug use and addiction and those are incredibly interesting, but we don’t have a ton of experience in that,” Kaling said of she and Fisher. “I love Euphoria and I think Sam is like a genius. Kaling also discussed how adult she and co-creator Lang Fisher decide to take the show, especially in contrast to much more R-rated high school content like that in Euphoria.

“They’re out there, and if I can help showcase some handsome love interests and help some heartthrobs along the way, I feel good about it.” It’s like, ‘Oh we can do that too,'” Kaling said of casting young men for the show. “We saw Crazy Rich Asians three or four years ago and it was like, ‘Oh my god, Henry Golding is to be lusted after.’ It’s just inspiring. He feels a little busy right now! But we are huge fans of his.Kurt Sutter Sets Western Drama 'The Abandons' at NetflixĪnd after the show has already divided its audience into Team Paxton (played by Darren Barnet) and Team Ben (played by Jaren Lewison), Kaling added a new boy into Devi’s (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan) life this season with the addition of actor Anirudh Pisharody, after seeking “a handsome, young, Indian love interest.” "I mean, I'm a big fan of Timothée Chalamet," she said. When asked about the possibility of a Chalamet sibling reunion onscreen, Kaling was game. Sex Lives is led by Pauline Chalamet, older sister to Timothée. I'm excited to be done with COVID narratively and be doing shows where it doesn't exist."

"With the show, Sex Lives of College Girls, you come with certain expectation, right? It's gotta be sexy and for someone like me - I'm watching Bridgerton and clutching my pearls, I'm such a prude - that show is challenging for me," she confessed. "The actresses are so talented, the writers are so good, but we have to write these situations that seem really realistic college, funny sex stories and that's the one where I go into the writers' room to come up with the stories where I'm always bracing myself like, 'What am I going to hear today?' But we have really funny stories and what I like about that show is that it exists in a world where there's no COVID, so it's not like we're dealing with that. Kaling also looked ahead to another coming-of-age series, HBO Max's The Sex Lives of College Girls, which is set post-high school and is returning for a sophomore season. Christopher Polk/E!
