If there's one thing fans can count on, it's that Mindy Kaling knows how to make a good TV show. Her latest project for HBO Max seems like it will be no exception, thanks to some pretty stellar casting announcements and a juicy, dramatic story. Here's everything you need to know about Mindy Kaling's The Sex Lives of College Girls, which sounds like it will be your next favorite show.
Kaling, who fans first fell in love with as Kelly Kapoor on The Office, is known for creating and starring in her long-running Hulu series The Mindy Project. She also created the Four Weddings and Funeral remake series on Hulu and the teen comedy Never Have I Ever on Netflix. Now, Kaling is tackling the world of collegiate dating — and another popular streaming service — with her new HBO Max project, The Sex Lives of College Girls, which was announced at the end of 2019. The series will feature an ensemble cast, centering on a young adult friend group at a prestigious college in New England; HBO describes them as "sexually active college girls [who] are equal parts lovable and infuriating." Kaling is a writer, executive producer, and showrunner on the upcoming series.
Ahead of the show's premiere, here's everything we know about it so far:

HBO Max released the first look at the series on Sept. 22. The brief trailer showcases the relatable struggle of trying to turn off a phone alarm while hungover, while giving fans a first look at the four main characters: Kimberly (Chalamet), Bela (Kaur), Leighton (Rapp), and Whitney (Scott).
Mindy Kaling introduced the full trailer on Oct. 13. The clip shows off the different personalities of each of the four friends: Kimberly is studious and a bit socially awkward, Bela is an outrageous party girl, Leighton is a confident go-getter, and Whitney is athletic and competitive. Throughout the trailer, the friends attend tons of wild college parties together and essentially make all the viewers at home wish they were part of their crew.
