What happened in Never Have I Ever Season 2?
Season 2 of Never Have I Ever saw Devi attempt to date both Paxton and Ben at the same time before her family moved to India, with predictably terrible results: Her family ended up never moving, and she caused a lot of hurt. She and Paxton eventually became official, and Ben begins dating Aneesa. Devi realizes she is incredibly jealous, while Ben realizes and may have had stronger feelings for Devi than he initially knew.
Is there a Never Have I Ever Season 3 trailer?
The Never Have I Ever Season 3 trailer is here and it’s juicy! Devi and Paxton go public with their relationship, and basically everyone at school acts like they can’t believe they’re an item—and that stokes a lot of insecurity for Devi. Her increasing doubt about her romance with Paxton causes complications in their relationship … and may lead to her falling into the arms of a hot new Desi guy at school. The drama!
Is the Never Have I Ever series 18+?
Never Have I Ever is rated TV-14, but Fisher hinted that a potential Season 3 may see some racier scenes, all for the sake of comedy. “The biggest [question for Season 3] is what’s Devi going to be as an actual girlfriend in a real relationship with someone who’s much more experienced than she is? This has been her dream for the entire series,” Fisher told Entertainment Tonight. “Day 1 she’s like, ‘We’ve got to get boyfriends.’ That’s all she’s wanted. And now she has one and he is the most popular boy in the school. And it’s like, ‘What is that going to be like?’ Is it going to be the dream that she had always imagined it would be or will it be more complicated? And probably it will be more complicated than that. There’s still these things like to explore in terms of sex and what do you do if you’re a nerd who’s done very little and you’re dating a much more experienced guy.”
What happens in Never Have I Ever Season 3?
So far, plot details are scant. However, Darren Barnet hinted that a potential third season could examine Devi’s relationship with Paxton. “It’s gonna be interesting seeing how he handles being in a relationship — or not," he told Variety. And how he handles doing things very much against the grain in terms of the social expectations, and what people have always expected of Paxton. He’s in very different shoes.” Fisher explained to The Hollywood Reporter that even though it appeared that Devi chose Paxton in Season 2, there would always be drama in her romantic life. “I don’t know how long it will go," she said of the show. “I’m happy to work on it as long as they’ll pay me. I love making it. I do think [Devi’s] got very different relationships with these two guys and you could see her going in either direction. So much of it depends on what the rest of the stories are that we want to tell. With teen shows, everyone is 45 and you have to graduate from high school. I do think the love triangle will be significant for the run of the show.” Fisher also told Entertainment Tonight that we’ll see more subplots with Devi’s family members in Season 3. Ramakrishnan said of a potential third season, “It’ll be really cool to see Devi in a proper relationship because we technically never really have. It was a two-timing situation, and as Dr. Ryan and Eleanor say, ‘That doesn’t count.’ That’s not real. She has zero boyfriends. So it is going to be cool to see her as a girlfriend—that new relationship in her life that she’s never had before. But I think Paxton realizing what Devi means to him is really nice because he realizes, ‘This is the person that believes in me and doesn’t think I’m stupid. And I actually accomplished something, and she was there for me,’” she added. “I think it’s Paxton setting aside the ego and the pride and also offering forgiveness and being like, ‘This is the situation.’ It’s really heartwarming.” Next, check out the 100 best TV shows to binge-watch on Netflix right now!
