“And, of course, it is only possible because of the real and raw stories of the talented writers who give their all to these shows. If you want to continue to see shows that can make you remember your first crush or cry about how much you love your mom, the writers who put their hearts on the page need to be paid what’s fair. Enjoy. #wgastrong,” she concluded on a strong note.
Along with the empowering message, Kaling shared the trailer and a few snaps from the show:
“Never Have I Ever” stars Toronto-based Maitreyi Ramakrishnan as Devi, navigating her way through high school sandwiched between young romance and Princeton dreams. “Never Have I Ever” also stars Poorna Jagannathan as Dr. Nalini Vishwakumar (Devi’s mother), Richa Moorjani as Kamala Nandiwadal (Devi’s cousin), Darren Barnet as Paxton Hall-Yoshida (Devi’s crush turned boyfriend), Jaren Lewison as Benjamin Gross (Devi’s nemesis turned fling), among others.

Day four of the writers strike and there’s no sign of slowing down for the writers marching in Hollywood.
Pat Saperstein Deputy Editor A number of restaurants and bars have decided to show solidarity with striking members of the Writers Guild by offering discounts on menu items and drinks. Writers can’t live on donuts alone, even if they’re delivered by Jay Leno, nor will the generous offers of pizza sent to picket lines solely sustain the hundreds of sign-carrying scribes marching in front of studios across Los Angeles and New York. In Silver Lake, All Day Baby is offering discounted $8 daiquiris, and owner Lien Ta wrote on Instagram, “All Day Baby is so lucky to receive regular support from writers — we have both investors and guests who are a part of our special tapestry. For example, the writers’ room at ‘Shrinking’ even keeps score of how many days one of their writers goes with or without mentioning ADB! We’re disappointed that Hollywood isn’t matching value with worth for our industry’s writers; and in a way, the restaurant industry can relate to these writers: they are like the chefs/cooks of film + TV, writing integral and delicious recipes, and without their talent, there would be no product or project for millions to benefit.”
Jennifer Maas TV Business Writer Paramount Global CEO Bob Bakish addressed the writers strike during Paramount’s Q1 earnings call Thursday, stating that writers are “an essential part of creating content” and “we hope we can come to a resolution that works for everyone fairly quickly.” However, the Paramount chief added, “it’s also fair to say there’s a really big gap.” “Obviously, we’ve been planning for this, we do have many levers to pull and that’ll allow us to manage through the strike, even if it’s for an extended duration,” Bakish said. “In terms of those levers, we have a lot in the can, so to speak, content in the can. So with the exception of things like late-night, consumers really won’t notice anything for a while. Add to that a broad range of reality, unscripted, where we’re definitely a leader, as well as sports, and that’s not effected, so we can do more in those areas, if necessary.”
