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.
