Never Have I Ever come from The Office fame Mindy Kaling who presents a different vision than that of many other sitcoms based on Teen romance. We have never seen an Indian main lead in an American sitcom and Never Have I Ever comes as a welcome surprise.
Aside from the head-scratching idea of a 30-year-old playing a 17 year old on the show, Never Have I Ever has been received favourably around the world. With Netflix producing the show and airing it globally, this comedy drama has seen three successful seasons so far.
Never Have I Ever tells the story of a teen girl, Devi Vishwakumar who has recently lost her father. The only person that understood her. After losing him to a heart attack in the middle of her Orchestra show in school, Devi suffers extreme trauma that stops movement in her legs.
She has to attend the rest of her freshman year in a wheelchair. Devi wants to date the most popular guy in high school but since she is an Indian kid who focuses on her studies, it seems like her dreams will be shattered. She is eventually assigned to tutor her crush – Paxton Hall-Yoshida and develops a new friendship with him.
However, before she can understand it, she seems to be falling for her mortal enemy and arch nemesis – Ben Gross. She is stuck between picking one of the two and the rest of the show portrays her journey as she decides who her well-suited match is.
We have coverage of Never Have I Ever across the site, including episode recaps for Season 3 as well as full season reviews for all three seasons thus far. You can check those out HERE.
There is bittersweet news for fans of Never Have I Ever. On one hand, fans can rejoice that the Netflix show will be coming back for a fourth season. But, on the other hand, just as Devi graduates high school in the next year, Season 4 is slated to be the final season of the show.
Back in March of 2022, ahead of the premiere of Season 3, the show’s creator – Mindy Kaling said, ”We’ve just been renewed for a fourth and final season, which we are absolutely thrilled about.”
Lang Fisher, the co-creator of the show added, ”We can’t wait to reveal all the steamy romance and hilarious adventures we have in store for you. Thanks to all our fans for your support – especially you #Bevi and #Daxton stans. We love you!”
There is not much revealed about the plot of Season 4 of Never Have I Ever so far but from the way Season 3 ended, it is likely that the fourth and final season will take fans through Devi’s senior year in college.
With Paxton graduating, it is likely that there will be a lot less of him in the upcoming season. Fans can expect Devi and Ben to date considering the way things ended in Season 3.
While Des’ character will not return for the next season, Netflix also reported that a new love interest will be added to the show with actor Michael Cimino who was last seen in ‘Love, Victor’.
Much interest is paid to what the final year of High School holds for Devi now that she has made the decision to stay at Sherman Oaks instead of going to the boarding school in Colorado. Fans also hope to see Kamala and Manish’s relationship progress into – possibly – a wedding in the final season.
For now though, we can all look forward to the next season of Netflix’s popular teen comedy!
