Devi Vishmakumar is getting ready to graduate. Seven months after Netflix announced that Never Have I Ever<\/em> had been renewed for season 3<\/a>, creator Mindy Kaling<\/strong><\/a> revealed in March 2022 that the show had also gotten the green light for its fourth and final installment<\/a>.<\/p>\n The raunchy teen comedy<\/a> centers on Devi (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan<\/strong>), a 15-year-old Indian-American girl mourning the recent death of her father in addition to the usual high school stresses: attempting to seduce Paxton (Darren Barnet<\/strong><\/a>), the hottest boy in school, defeating her academic nemesis, Ben (Jaren Lewison<\/strong>), and navigating tensions with her best friends. On top of all that, Devi and her mother, Nalini (Poorna Jagannathan<\/strong><\/a>), are constantly at odds and her beautiful, perfect cousin Kamala (Richa Moorjani<\/strong>) has just moved in.<\/p>\n At the start of the first season, Devi is starting her sophomore year of high school and Kaling felt it was fitting to wrap things up around the time that she would graduate.<\/p>\n \u201cFour seasons for a high school show felt like it made sense,\u201d the Office<\/em> alum<\/a> told Entertainment Tonight<\/em><\/a> in April 2022 about the decision to end the series. \u201cThere are some things are built-in doing a high school show that felt like, \u2018OK this is time.’\u201d<\/p>\n She continued: \u201cBut the truth is, we got to know the characters. The great thing about doing it on Netflix is that we got to tell stories that you wouldn\u2019t necessarily be able to tell in traditional network shows and so we feel good. We really told the story of this 15-year-old girl and that felt like the perfect amount of time.\u201d<\/p>\n Kaling and the rest of the writers will likely be able to pack a lot of drama and romance into those remaining seasons. Season 2 ended on a cliffhanger, with Paxton agreeing to officially be Devi\u2019s boyfriend<\/a> \u2014 just as Ben learns that she had feelings for him \u2014 which puts the teen in a position she\u2019s never been in before.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat\u2019s Devi going to be<\/a> as an actual girlfriend in a real relationship with someone who\u2019s much more experienced than she is?\u201d showrunner Lang Fisher<\/strong> wondered to ET<\/em> in July 2021. \u201cThis has been her dream for the entire series. \u2026 And now she has one and he is the most popular boy in the school.\u201d<\/p>\n She continued: \u201cIt\u2019s like, \u2018What is that going to be like?\u2019 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\u2019s still these things like to explore in terms of sex and what do you do if you\u2019re a nerd who\u2019s done very little and you\u2019re dating a much more experienced guy.\u201d<\/p>\n
