Paxton And Devi Hard Launch Their Relationship In The NHIE Season 3 Trailer
Spoiler: It doesn't go very well.
When Never Have I Ever premiered on Netflix in 2020 as a surprise hit, it was the latest in a lineup of teen coming-of-age stories. The series, which is (very loosely) based on the formative years of producer Mindy Kaling, was an instant fan favorite, and Devi Vishwakumar’s dilemma between potential love interests Paxton and Ben became everyone’s new favorite love triangle. Season 2 managed to keep the triangle going, with Ben and Paxton competing for Devi’s attention. With things still unresolved, Never Have I Ever Season 3 was almost a given even before Netflix confirmed the show would continue.
Warning: Spoilers for Never Have I Ever Seasons 1 and 2 follow. Never Have I Ever’s second season had a difficult thread to follow. How does one keep Devi from winding up with one boy while keeping the other from moving on? The answer had her date both guys at the start of Season 2. But when that blew up, Devi was left with no one, Paxton had to figure out what to do after a car crash (which Devi accidentally helped cause) derailed his swimming career, and Ben moved on with another girl, Devi’s friend and rival, Aneesa.
But the end of the second season changed things up again. Having gone to the dance with Aneesa, Ben learned that Devi has had feelings for him the whole time and only recently decided to focus on Paxton, who showed up to the dance to go public with Devi.
So, it seems Ben, Paxton, and Devi will all be back to their same love triangle drama in Season 3. Here’s everything to know about the new season so far.
