We’ve eagerly been awaiting the third season of Netflix’s teen dramedy “Never Have I Ever” since Netflix announced the show’s renewal in August 2021. With filming already underway, it’s only a matter of time before Devi Vishuakumar (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan) and the fam grace our screens again. In case you haven’t been rewatching the show for the millionth time (or is that just me?) and need a refresher, season two ended with a bombshell revelation, and we need answers, stat. Not only do our main character, Devi, and Paxton finally start dating, but Ben may or may not still be in love with her . . . even though he’s dating the new girl at school, Aneesa. While Devi still has a lot of growing up to do, she’s come a long way in dealing with her father’s sudden death and repairing her friendships and relationships with her family.
Meanwhile, Fabiola, Eleanor, and Devi’s cousin Kamala are still trying to figure out their identities and get a better handle on their romantic relationships. We’re especially interested to see if Kamala will strike up a friendship (or more) with Devi’s high school teacher after running away from what would’ve been her engagement dinner. Fortunately, it’s already 2022, which means we’re getting closer to more new episodes. Click through the slideshow to find out everything we know about the new season!

Is the Whole Cast Returning for "Never Have I Ever" Season 3?
We can expect most of our main ensemble cast to return, which includes our lead gal Devi (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan), her best friends Fabiola (Lee Rodriguez) and Eleanor (Ramona Young), and family – mom Nalini (Poorna Jagannathan) and cousin Kamala (Richa Moorjani). By the end of season two, Paxton (Darren Barnet) and Devi are together, but Ben (Jaren Lewison) – her former flame and rival-turned-friend – has lingering feelings for her even though he’s taken, so we can expect that love square to continue to simmer into the next season.

What Will "Never Have I Ever" Season 3 Be About?
Before the show was renewed for a third season, several of the cast and crew speculated about the characters and what they wish for them. In July 2021, Darren Barnet told POPSUGAR he’d like to see Devi and Paxton as an “exclusive couple.”
“There’s a lot more for Devi to learn about Paxton, for Paxton to learn about himself, and for Devi to learn about herself. And when that all comes to fruition, who knows? They may fall in love or realise they’re better as friends or absolutely hate each other, so you never really know,” Barnet continued.
In a separate interview with Entertainment Tonight, co-creator Lang Fisher also said she wants to see Devi’s family relationships evolve in the new season. “It’d be nice to see them kind of lean on each other a little more. We introduced her grandmother [Nirmala] this season, who is this amazing actress [Ranjita Chakravarty] and she just brought this whole other dimension and kind of filled a little bit of the void that Mohan [her father] left.”
