Created by Mindy Kaling and Justin Noble, the series follows four college roommates as they arrive at New England’s prestigious Essex College.

“Mindy Kaling and Justin Noble have created and written a show that is full of heart, female friendships, and awkward naked parties” said Sarah Aubrey, head of original content at HBO Max. “We are delighted that this comic, honest portrayal of the college condition has resonated for everyone, whether they had sex in college or not. We can’t wait to see where these uniquely complex yet relatable characters will go next.”
Kaling and Noble co-wrote the first episode of the series. Both executive produce, with Noble also serving as showrunner. Howard Klein of 3 Arts Entertainment also executive produces. Kaling executive produces under her Kaling International banner. Warner Bros. Television is the studio.
