‘Never Have I Ever’ Season 2 Resumes Production after COVID-19 Scare [Exclusive]

Mindy Kaling's Netflix comedy series, ‘Never Have I Ever’ has officially resumed filming on season 2, today, after the new year holidays, we have confirmed. The production was set to resume soon after the holidays but the COVID-19 surge in Los Angeles forced the studio to extend its planned break. However, according to Variety, last week's delay was due to non-COVID-related logistical issues at the studio. 

Now, with all the COVID-19 safety guidelines in place, the cast of the series is back on set to get the show going. The confirmation of this news comes from the series star Lee Rodriguez.

Earlier, Season 2 began filming on the 9th of November and added few new faces to the cast in Megan Suri, Tyler Alvarez, Utkarsh Ambudkar, and P.J. Byrne. After a huge success, Netflix renewed ‘Never Have I Ever’ for season two back in July 2020. The series has also won the best comedy show of 2020 at the People’s Choice Awards.

Season 2 will see Maitreyi Ramakrishnan reprise her lead role as high school student Devi Vishwakumar alongside the returning cast including Poorna Jagannathan(who plays Devi’s mother Dr. Nalini Vishwakumar), Richa Moorjani (who plays her cousin Kamala), Jaren Lewison, Darren Barnet, Lee Rodriguez, and Ramona Young.

‘Never Have I Ever’ Season 2 will return late spring this year on Netflix.

"Never Have I Ever" is a coming of age comedy about the life of a modern-day first-generation Indian American teenage girl Devi played by Maitreyi Ramakrishnan. The character is an overachieving high school sophomore who has a short fuse that gets her into difficult situations. In addition to the ultra-relatable high school drama about fitting in, searching for love, and trying to figure out who you are, Devi is also dealing with the sudden death of her father.
