Champions is an American television sitcom created by Charlie Grandy and Mindy Kaling that aired on NBC from March 8 to May 25, 2018.

He lives a simple life, dates an endless string of women, until his high school fling Priya drops off their 15-year-old son Michael.

The project stemmed from a writing, producing, and acting deal that Kaling had signed with Universal Television during the previous summer.

Before the cancellation was announced, producers had reportedly been in talks with Netflix, which carries the series internationally, about potentially picking up the show but the discussions ultimately did not lead to a renewal.

The website's critical consensus reads, "Champions has a charming cast and good-natured approach to sensitive issues which make it a worthwhile watch.

Totah, who plays Priya and Vince's proudly out son, Michael.
