The fourth and final season of Never Have I Ever was announced just last month. Following the announcement, series creator Mindy Kaling has opened up about why the series is ending on Netflix, and it makes sense.

We’ve seen those shows. Like, you’ve been in high school for 12 years. What is going on here? Also, the actors get older and it starts looking insane that a 34-year-old is playing a 15-year-old.” Mindy added that it was also time to wrap up Devi and her friends’ stories for now. “The truth is, we got to know the characters.

The great thing about doing it on Netflix is that we got to tell stories that you wouldn’t necessarily be able to tell in traditional network shows and so we feel good.

We really told the story of this 15-year-old girl and that felt like the perfect amount of time.” The show centers on Indian American teenager Devi (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan) continues to deal with the everyday pressures of high school and drama at home, while also navigating new romantic relationships.
