The critically acclaimed teen comedy series, Never Have I Ever, has been renewed for a second season by Netflix.
Co-created by Mindy Kaling, season 2 will get a 10-episode run on the streamer with Maitreyi Ramakrishnan reprising her lead role as high school student Devi Vishwakumar alongside returning cast members including Poorna Jagannathan, Richa Moorjani, Jaren Lewison, Darren Barnet, Lee Rodriguez, and Ramona Young. The series follows the complicated life of a modern-day first-generation Indian American teenage girl, dealing with issues of family, sexuality, and high school. Ramakrishnan’s Vishwakumar is a 15-year old from Sherman Oaks, CA, who wants to change her social status after a horrible year that included losing her father and being confined to a wheelchair for three months.
The series launched back in April and was well-received by critics. Most of the raves went to its accurate depiction of high school as well as its inclusivity and breaking South Asian stereotypes. Lang Fisher, who created the show alongside Kaling, serves as a writer, executive producer, and showrunner with Kaling exec producing alongside 3 Arts Entertainment’s Howard Klein and David Miner. It is produced by Universal Television in association with 3 Arts Entertainment, Original Langster, and Kaling International.
