THE story of Devi Vishwakumar and her awkward high school experiences will continue. Netflix has renewed Mindy Kaling’s coming-of-age comedy series “Never Have I Ever” for a second season. The news comes just over two months after the show launched to critical acclaim. Season 2 will see newcomer Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, who beat out 15,000 other actors via an open casting call to win the lead role. Kaling co-created the series with Lang Fisher, who serves as writer, executive producer and showrunner. The Universal Television project is also executive-produced by 3 Arts Entertainment’s Howard Klein and David Miner. “Never Have I Ever” centers around the complicated life of Devi, a modern-day first-generation Indian American teenage girl. The character is overachieving high school sophomore who has a short fuse that gets her into difficult situations. In addition to the ultra-relatable high school drama about fitting in, searching for love and trying to figure out who you are, Devi is also dealing with the sudden death of her father.(SD-Agencies) |
