Netflix's Popular Never Have I Ever Returns July 15; Peacock's Girls5eva Renewed for Season 2

Countdown time homies! Never Have I Ever season 2 premieres July 15 only on Netflix! In the comedy, after a traumatic year, all an Indian-American teen wants is to go from pariah to popular — but friends, family and feelings won't make it easy on her. There will some new faces this season, as Megan Suri plays a new student at Sherman Oaks High, whose confidence and radiance will pose an immediate threat to Devi (series star Maitreyi Ramakrishnan). Utkarsh Ambudkar and P.J. Byrne will recur as Mr. Kulkarni, "the coolest teacher on staff at Sherman Oaks High"; and Evan, "a head research assistant in Kamala's program at Caltech." And there will be plenty of special guest stars like Common. The series created by and produced by Mindy Kaling, was a major success for Netflix in spring 2020 during the pandemic. The series stars Maitreyi Ramakrishnan as Devi Vishwakumar, Poorna Jagannathan as Dr. Nalini Vishwakumar, Darren Barnet as Paxton Hall-Yoshida, Ramona Young as Eleanor Wong, Lee Rodriguez as Fabiola Torres, Richa Moorjani as Kamala, Jaren Lewison as Ben Gross, and John McEnroe as himself.

Girls5Eva

Critically acclaimed Peacock Original comedy series Girls5eva has been renewed for a second season. Season one of the series reached "Certified Fresh" status on Rotten Tomatoes, with the Top Critic rating remaining at 100%. All eight episodes of season one are streaming now on Peacock. As a companion to the first season, Peacock and Epic Records released a soundtrack album, Girls5eva: Music From The Peacock Original Series. The nine-track collection is available HERE.

When a one-hit-wonder girl group from the 90's gets sampled by a young rapper, its members reunite to give their pop star dreams one more shot. They may be grown women balancing spouses, kids, jobs, debt, aging parents, and shoulder pain, but can't they also be Girls5eva? The series stars Grammy(R) Award-winner and Tony(R) and Emmy(R) Award-nominated singer Sara Bareilles, Grammy(R) and Tony(R) Award-winning actress and singer Renée Elise Goldsberry, Emmy(R) Award-winning Saturday Night Live mainstay and comedy icon Paula Pell, and New York Times Best-Selling author, actor, activist, writer and host Busy Philipps.
