Never Have I Ever will be wrapping up Devi&#039;s story in two seasons. Here&#039;s what creator Mindy Kaling has to say about that.

Never Have I Ever: Creator Mindy Kaling Reveals Why It’s Best to Say Goodbye to Devi Vishwakumar and Co in 4 Seasons

The hilarious teen dramedy, Never Have I Ever has wrapped up shooting and will
be hitting the streamer in Summer 2023. Netflix still hasn’t announced the
official date yet, but rest assured it’s coming back. Although the good news
came with another bad piece. 

The show, loosely based on creator Mindy Kaling’s own teenage years in Boston
will end with season 4. Fans are beyond disappointed, but Mindy has a valid
reason for making such a call. 


THE CHARACTERS CANNOT SPEND 12 YEARS IN HIGH SCHOOL 

Most of the actors on Never Have I Ever are in their twenties. The lead actress,
Maitreyi Ramakrishnan

who plays Devi is 20 and Jaren Lewinson (Ben Gross) is 21. The biggest surprise
is Darren Barnet who appears as Paxton. Darren is 30 years old! Indeed he looks
especially young for his age but the actor cannot play a high school heartthrob
for another 12 years. He will be 40+ years old! Moreover, high school generally
ends for people in four years. If the show goes on for more seasons, it’ll just
lose relatability.

“Four seasons for a high school show felt like it made sense. They can’t be in
high school forever. You’ve been in high school for 12 years—what is going on
here? Also, the actors get older and it starts looking insane that a 34-year-old
is playing a 15-year-old,” explained

Mindy.

The majority of the shows set in high school like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and
Pretty Little Liars all had their characters graduate.

NEVER HAVE I EVER SEASON 3 WILL FEATURE MORE BAD DECISIONS AND STEAMIER ROMANCE

But Mindy and co-creator Lang Fisher assure fans that they’ll have plenty of
things to look forward to. The upcoming season of Never Have I Ever will dial up
the romance aspect. “We can’t wait to reveal all the steamy romance and
hilarious adventures we have in store for you.” 

Despite the show coming to an end

in two more seasons, the creators are happy that they could tell Devi’s story in
full. 

 “The great thing about doing it on Netflix is that we got to tell stories that
you wouldn’t 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,” she added.
