Happy July.
If you have yet to watch Netflix’s Never Have I Ever, you need to watch Netflix’s Never Have I Ever.
A high school comedy/drama all about the trials and tribulations of being a teenager, being in school, and being surrounded by people that you definitely fancy, the series is charming, relatable, and pretty damn wholesome.
Created by the wonderful Mindy Kaling and Lang Fisher, the series follows high school student Devi Vishwakumar (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan) – a girl who is desperate to make a name for herself in the world of boys, parties, and underage drinking.
The show doesn’t take itself all that serious – it’s silly, it’s fun, and it’s incredibly heartwarming… it’s also an incredibly easy watch, so if you’re sick to death of true crime dramas spanning 80 hours and four+ seasons, you know where to go.
Never Have I Ever has just been renewed for a second season by Netflix, meaning that we’re bound for even more high school, teenage, cringey yet entirely relatable shenanigans.
Rejoining Ramakrishnan in the cast are Poorna Jagannathan, Richa Moorjani, Jaren Lewison, Darren Barnet, Lee Rodriguez, and Ramona Young – as well as a few new faces, no doubt.
There’s no word yet as to when the second season of the series will drop – but seeing as Never Have I Ever only landed onto our screens back in April, chances are we’ll have a while to wait yet before we can delve back in again.
Ramakrishnan told Variety this year that the show’s relatability is what made it so, well, relatable.
“It’s awesome because I’m seeing so many people saying, ‘Oh my God, I can relate to this so much,'” she said.
“Whether it’s something as simple as one of the arm hair jokes — because let’s be real, even though I’m 100 percent confident with my arm hair, there are days where I go up to my father and I say, ‘Why did you do this to me? Why can’t you give me anything else?’”
“Or somebody saying, ‘Thank you, this made me really realize I have some unpacking to do with the loss of a family member.’
“That’s all I wanted from this show. Emmys for the cast, Emmys for the direction, a Nobel Peace Prize — I’m not opposed — but, in all seriousness, this is all I wanted from the show.”
