The Netflix original "Never Have I Ever" is a coming-of-age teen-comedy show that reached nearly 40 million households within a month of its premiere. The show stars Maitreyi Ramakrishnan as a 15-year old quirky teen, Devi. This casting is culturally relevant for the representation of Indians in mainstream American productions.

The teen sitcom and drama were co-created by Mindi Kaling and Lang Fisher. The first season received praise from critics and fans alike, so the news of a second season in the works was not surprising.

Last week, Ramakrishnan, the "Never Have I Ever" lead, shared the news of the show's second season on her Instagram. Kaling jokingly commented on the post by saying, "Wholesome content. I hope there is no swearing and sex talk like last season."
