Mindy Kaling Reveals Surprising Love for Outlander: “I Couldn’t Quit the Series!”

As a dedicated follower, I can’t help but express my admiration for the captivating saga known as Outlander, penned by Diana Gabaldon and brought to life on Starz Network in 2014. This epic tale has been steadily gaining a devoted fanbase with each season that passes, and it’s no secret that one of those fans is none other than Mindy Kaling. In her own words, after the final curtain call for Season 7 in the 2025 TV schedule, she praised the series for its intricate and outstanding world-building skills.

As the eighth season signals the conclusion of “Outlander,” Kaling’s observations are particularly apt. The latest enthusiast to join the fanbase recently discussed her affection and admiration for the show’s compelling qualities with Swoon. Mindy Kaling, a former cast member of “The Office,” mentioned that although this genre isn’t typically her cup of tea, she found it impossible to stop watching the series, expressing:

I found “Outlander” by Diana Gabaldon absolutely captivating, which is unusual for me since I typically steer clear of historical romance novels. However, this series has won me over in a big way.

As a dedicated fan of Mindy Kaling’s work, I find myself drawn to the intriguing blend of time-travel and historical romance she’s unexpectedly fond of. Truth be told, I might never have given this book-turned-show a second glance without her enthusiasm. It’s refreshing to see Hollywood figures openly admiring projects that lie outside their usual genres.

Currently, I’m eager to delve deeper into her perspectives, and I believe fans from either side would be thrilled to discover her opinions on the Season 7 book, especially if she has already read it.

Despite not receiving her direct feedback regarding the series itself, the star of “The Mindy Project” expressed admiration for Gabaldon’s skill in constructing such an intricate world. In discussing the challenges she encounters when developing a show, she noted that many of her projects are rooted in real-life events, expressing:

Creating whole new worlds seems quite challenging for me. Given my background, I often base my stories on personal experiences, having been a doctor’s child, working in an office, attending college, and high school. Therefore, when someone manages to construct such a world, especially one involving time travel, it truly leaves me in awe. That level of creativity is truly impressive!

Her praise for the “Outlander” universe resonates with me greatly, encouraging me to read the initial book or watch a season. Although a more grounded concept such as Kaling’s is suitable for any format, she isn’t off base in stating that constructing a remarkable and magical world is an undeniable and awe-inspiring accomplishment.

The comedian’s latest work on HBO, particularly the S3 finale of SLOCG, achieved remarkable success due to the strategic choice of avoiding a suspenseful cliffhanger. It leaves us curious about what she has in store for her upcoming series, Running Point, which will be available for streaming from February 27 with a Netflix subscription.
