In a recent interview with a portal, Mindy Kaling revealed that she and Lang Fisher drew from their own experiences when they were building Devi's story. She revealed that they both know what it is like to lose a parent and thought it would be great to deal with a comedy-drama character who is unable to handle her grief. Kaling added that there is still a stigma attached to dealing with grief or mental health, especially in Asian and minority communities. 

The series is co-created by Kaling's The Mindy Project partner Lang Fisher. The show follows an Indian-American teenager grieving the unexpected loss of her father and trying to balance being an Indian in America. Maitreyi Ramakrishnan plays the lead Devi and Poorna Jagannathan and Sendhil Ramamurthy play her parents. Darren Barnet plays her love interest and Ben Gross, her arch-nemesis. Richa Moorjani plays Devi's good-looking cousin named Kamala. Ramona Young and Lee Rodriguez play her best friends. The show is narrated by John McEnroe and Brooklyn Nine Nine's Andy Samberg.
