Actress Mindy Kaling's coming-of-age comedy Never Have I Ever has been commissioned for a third season by streaming service Netflix.
The critically acclaimed series narrated by the "You cannot be serious" tennis star John McEnroe riddled with teen angst is partially based on Kaling’s childhood growing up near Boston.
It stars Maitreyi Ramakrishnan as an Indian American high school student dealing with the death of her father.

Announcing a third instalment, The Office star Kaling said: "HI-FIVES ALL AROUND!! We are coming back for season 3 of @neverhaveiever! We love you guys for watching the show and can’t wait to make some more for you!"
McEnroe speaking about accepting the role on the TV programme with the Los Angeles Times last month said "I was, like wait a minute: I’m in the head of a high school girl who’s Indian American?
And I’m supposed to be like her uncle, as well as her psychiatrist, as well as a few other things? And there’s a lot of lines?
I was happy because I’ve done a lot of cameos over the years, [which] are fun, but this one seemed like I was actually, in a way, part of the cast." He added.
Kaling, 42, created the show alongside Lang Fisher, with the programme praised for its representation of the South Asian community.
Ramakrishnan, 19, landed the lead role after impressing at an open casting call that attracted 15,000 hopefuls.
