I just wanted to tell you guys that Never Have I Ever has been renewed for Season 2.”

During a March 2021 interview with POPSUGAR, Maitreyi got real about how her “uniqueness” led to her acting career. “It’s given me the opportunity to expand the representation other young people are seeing on TV, and by seeing themselves and their life experiences, hopefully I’m finding a way to help others realize what’s unique to you is really an asset and a gift,” the young star explained, noting that she considers quirks her “secret weapons.”

“You can’t expect anyone else to do the heavy lifting for you and cheer you on when the times are rough because they might not always be there, but you’ve always got yourself,” she said.

What Can Fans Expect?

Creator Mindy told Elle that Devi will be “figuring out how not to rage out, because that’s her problem. She has this really bad temper. And seeing if she actually does end up having a boyfriend, or whether she can even be a good girlfriend to these guys.”

Maitreyi, for her part, really hopes that her character will learn “to be more appreciative of her family and her friends because her friends do a lot for her.”

“Also understanding where her mother’s coming from. That is something that we’ll be able to have a lot of audiences relate to, understanding where our parents are coming from even though they might not go about doing certain things the best way possible,” the actress told Variety in May 2020. “Then also the idea of approaching that grief—confronting it, having that battle, even though it’s something uncomfortable to think about, [but] actually just running toward it and facing it, dealing with it head on. And then number three, of course, embracing her culture because that is so important in a world where identity is everything.”
