Netflix’s Never Have I Ever made its debut in April 2020 and became a quarantine *must-watch*. Mindy Kaling and Lang Fisher’s coming of age comedy-drama follows an American-Indian girl growing up in California.
Devi’s home feels increasingly suffocating after her father’s death, and her neurotic behaviour isn’t helping her at school. So much so, believing that being boy-crazy is her direct ticket to popularity, she decides to do only the most obvious thing: pursue the cutest guy she knows in school. The gorgeous Paxton Hall-Yoshida.
But, as anyone who has dared to woo someone out of their league knows, romance is never as simple as it appears in the movies. Devi manages to develop a number of her relationships in quest of a newfound life, and the season concludes with her reconciling with her mother before kissing her arch (academic) nemesis, Ben Gross. And yes, the part that left us at the edge of our seats, when Paxton called Devi, recanting his feelings for her!
So there has to be more to come, right? Here’s what we know so far about Season 2:
The premier of Season 2 has been set!
We won’t have to wait too long for another glimpse of Paxton’s washboard abs, hehe.
Netflix announced in April 2021 that not only is the new season concluded filming, but Devi, Ben, Paxton, and the rest of the cast will be back on your screens on July 15th!
And we’re not the only ones who are jumping out of our seats in joy of this announcement. “LET THE COUNTDOWNS BEGIN,” Maitreyi Ramakrishnan commented on the IG reel.
Between Devi’s dilemma on whether to date Ben or Paxton, or both, it appears that she is about to face new competition from a new Indian girl transferring to Sherman Oaks High. Devi, on the other hand, isn’t about to give up her desire to be the center of attention.
This season, we’ll get to see new fresh — and famous — faces
Along with Devi, Paxton, Ben, Fabiola, and Eleanor, this season we’ll be seeing a couple of new – and possibly famous – faces.
Megan Suri is making her show debut as Aneesa, a new Indian girl whose “confidence and radiance” will instantly intimidate our beloved Devi. Will Aneesa become a problem in Devi’s blossoming romances with Ben and/or Paxton? That is something we will (unfortunately) find out later.
We also have some *piping hot* dating rumours for our favourite Indian mom Nalini — it appears that she may be on the hunt for a new beau! The man who is expected to sweep her off her feet is none other than, the legend, Common who is a rival dermatologist.
So, let’s get this straight. Devi has two hot guys competing for her attention, while her mother’s love interest is Common? We don’t think we’ll be getting off the couch for a while.
The trailer also shows us a glimpse of Devi’s life as she sweats up maintaining her two boyfriends and fends off Aneesa, the Indian girl who is “prettier” and “cooler,” and trying to be “as chill as a Slurpee, bro” at the same time.
Who doesn’t love a high school drama, lol? We *seriously* can’t wait to binge!
