“Never in My Life” gets a fourth and final season.
… I'm happy and sad at the same time. Over the past three seasons of the hit Netflix series, the life of Indian-American high school student Devi Vishwakumar (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan) has been explored.
In fact, the story does not seem new. She and her friends Eleanor and Fabiola are total nerds but want to be one of the hottest students this year. Protagonist Devi naturally has a soft spot for Paxton Hall-Yoshida (Darren Barnet) and will do anything to make him her boyfriend. And then there's her nerdy Jewish rival Ben (Jaren Lewison), whom she hates to the core. But of course, something is growing there.
Sounds like a series full of cliches? Right. But there's more to Mindy Kaling and Lang Fisher's teen rom-com: Not only is the series hilarious and funny, it also explores serious themes of grief, loss, neglect, and multicultural identities. All in all, a great mix that I could watch again and again. Of course, I finished season 3 after only 2 days and immediately these questions popped up, which Netflix MUST answer.
Spoiler alert for Never in My Life Season 3…from now on! So head to Netflix if you don't know the series yet.
1. First things first: are Devi and Ben dating again?
At the start of Season 2, Devi alienated Dreamboy Paxton and his former competitor Ben. As Ben admits in season 3, Devi's cheating hit him harder than he would have liked, "even breaking his heart".
Although Ben and Aneesa became a couple, the bond with Devi was never really broken. Even though they keep getting angry or dropping a stupid line, it's obvious that Ben still has feelings for Devi. At the end of Season 3, Devi reunites with Ben and is supposed to have her first time with him.
2. And when they are in a relationship, do they remain so?!
Devi has been switching between Paxton and Ben since season 1. Season 3 joins the intelligent Indian loverboy Des, the son of her mother's friend. How is it. Anyway, Devi's love life is turbulent and not really long term so far.
So I imagine that Devi and Ben will have to go through a few pitfalls before finding each other OR that the big question will be whether they will stay together despite going to different universities?
3. Will high school hottie Paxton be missing altogether?
Paxton was there from the start. Since he is a year older than Devi, his schooling ends in season 3. He even chooses to leave California. However, series creator Lang Fisher told EW that "Paxton will still be a part of Season 4" and "the love triangle isn't over yet."
4. Will Devi be accepted into her dream college or will her dream change?
As a super brain, Devi actually has the best chance of getting into her dream college, Princeton. However, as her character continues to evolve, I imagine Devi discovering a passion she had never thought of before. The university your boyfriend goes to also plays a role…
5. What will become of Eleanor and her boyfriend Trent?
Trent (Benjamin Norris) and Eleanor (Ramona Young) were initially a couple you couldn't quite place. Eleanor even wanted to quit at the start of Season 3. Luckily, she didn't, as the two became a real dream couple. I hope they will succeed after high school.
6. Will Trent still graduate?
Since Trent was in Paxton's year, that should be the end for him too. But he failed and will go to school with his girlfriend and friends for another year. It will be funny! I'm sure they'll give him a hand.
7. What's next for Fabiola and Addison?
After Fab (Lee Rodriguez) and Aneesa (Megan Suri) found out they were just friends, Fabiola fell madly in love with Addison. Lo and behold: the two have become a couple. As Addison (Terry Hu) is a good friend of Devi's Ex Des (Anirudh Pisharody), the two may find themselves…
8. Will Aneesa finally find happiness?
Aneesa hasn't had it easy this season. The relationship with Ben broke down and the one with Fabiola didn't really work out either. I hope she will find her happiness at least in season 4.
9. Will Kamala end up marrying her Mr. K?
Kamala (Richa Moorjani) and Devi's teacher, MK (Utkarsh Ambudkar) are one of my favorite couples. Kamala has come a long way and MK is exactly the man she needs by her side. Although she's not ready for the wedding, I can hear the wedding bells ringing away from these two cuties.
10. What will happen to Devi's mother when her daughter moves out?
Devi's mother, Nalini (Poorna Jagannathan) wants the best for her daughter and since she will surely be accepted into every college, Devi might end up moving quite a distance. Even though Nalini mimics the strong, inside she has a soft core and I'm sure she will have a hard time accepting that thought.
I would be happy if dr. Jackson reappears in her life. I mean, if not now, then when?
11. Will Devi finally get over the trauma of her father's death?
Devi struggled with grief for her father. She saw him again and again, also in her dreams, where he stood by her side with words and deeds. With him, she lost the most important reference person so far.
But what is nice to see is the relationship with his mother, which after three seasons has become a strong bond. In season 3, Devi even decides not to stay at a big school with her mom for another year. In season three, her father appears less and Devi admits to feeling happy again despite his death. I'm sure she will always love it, but after season 4 she will be ready to let go.
The last season “Never in my life…” has already been shot. So we can definitely expect the final in 2023 at the latest!
