'Never Have I Ever' Cast On Season 2 & Paxton-Ben Romance | Around the Table | Entertainment Weekly 

Maitreyi is such a natural Devi. Even out of the show she talks like Devi

it's so weird to hear richa and poorna without accents

Gosh, all these women's hair. 😍😍😍

Lee Rodriguez is STUNNNNNNING....CANNOT take my eyes off her! Such a beauty

SHOUT OUT TO ALL THESE AMAZING WOMEN OF COLOR. Y'ALL ARE AN INSPIRATION!!!

Lee Rodríguez is so FREAKING gorgeous I can’t-

who else was shocked by Richa Moorjani's (Kamala) accent??

As a brown girl, well now a quite old brown girl, I love the show, and i have waited 60 years for something like this!! it is brilliant and well executed. thank you

Oh my god Richa is just flawless, the way she looks and speaks. Damn!!

I LOVE how Poorna Jagannathan (Devi’s mom) is excited about her character’s love interest, who is, the way she said it, sooo hot. When Dr. Jackson and she first kissed on the show was a fulfillment despite the circumstances. And also I’m rooting for Kamala and Mr. K, the way he looked at her when she showed up at the school last episode season 2 was so heart-warming and vibrating. I’m neither TEAM Paxton or TEAM Ben. I guess I like Ben a little more, but it’s gotta be admitted that Paxton went through a lot of positive changes.

Ramona shoes are stunning, even though people don't talk a lot about her, I really like her, she seems to be a really nice person, she's really charming❤

hearing them talk without their accents messes with my head

Tbh, cos they’re teens and Devi is still in a process of maturing and development. I’m ok with her end up with either guys or no boyfriends at all. Most important thing is she learn to become better in her decisions and control her anger whenever needed. AKA Team Devi. One of my best friend had her mother died 2 years ago, she’s not a teenager anymore but to get over that and becoming more mature does take time. I witness her rant and angry but she’s maturing and handling them better. And still in the process while seeing a therapist as well.

I think every Indian Parent is Team GEOMETRY BOOK. Her answer totally fits her character.

I love the fact that Ramona is team Paxton☺️it’s interesting hearing the characters say there thoughts the show and who they rather see Devi with

I honestly needed this show, I feel like we aren’t represented enough in media and that’s why I love it so much

they took around a year for the second season and I finished it in 2 days..😭I wish there were more

I like the fact that the show was not just about Devi, every character had their good share of screen time.

The more I watch interviews about the show, the more I like the story and the characters. I can't stop watching it! Help me! P.S.: Totally Team Devi... with Paxton. 😂😍

i see people misinterpreting Paxton in the comments (idk how yall manage to do this when the show did such a good job of fleshing him out) so i'll spell it out for yall: BEN is a reflection of Devi. They are very much the same. PAXTON is the sense of normalcy Devi has projected onto him. She put all her dreams of popularity and wanting to forget her father's death onto Paxton. BOTH of these dynamics are worthwhile and special in their own ways, and Devi could very well end up with either or neither of them, and it would make a good story either way (if the writers do it right, that is). Ben and Devi are both prickly insecure (lovable) assholes. They both strive to have more popularity than the other- Ben dates Shira for popularity and Devi also wants to become popular by getting w hot jock Paxton on the way. They're dynamic is i-know-all-the-worst-parts-of-you-because-were-the-one-and-the-same. That's why even when they're 'enemies and spitting curses at each other, there's an intimacy between them of knowing each other best. BUT ben/devi shippers shouldn't use this to put down Paxton/Devi's dynamic, which is just as complex! If Ben/devi is the enemies-to-lovers dynamic, Paxton/Devi is the jock/nerd trope. Except there's something special about Paxton/Devi. Usually in the jock/nerd trope, it's the jock guy that doesn't really the nerd girl for who they really are, but when it comes to Devi/Paxton, it's Devi who's the one that isn't seeing Paxton for who he really is. When Devi's dad dies, she refuses to deal with her grief so she decides to fixate on her crush on Paxton. She sees Paxton as a means to not have to deal with her trauma. She even says to Dr. Ryan "hot people don't have problems", so she subconsciously she believes that getting with Paxton will make her problems go away. But Paxton doesn't know all this. All he knows is that this girl who's kind of snarky and kind of funny, is into him. And along the way, you can see that he genuinely starts to like her. Like when he rescues her at parties and then genuinely asks her what she was thinking, and doesn't laugh when she says she thought the coyote was her dad. Paxton isn't interested in hurling insults like Ben/Devi, he's honest about how he feels to Devi. That's why when it turns out Devi inadvertently spread rumors about them having sex he's hurt, because he feels like he's been used, which Devi kind of was. That's not to say that Paxton is *just* a prize to Devi, she really does like him, and he's shown to her that he's a good listener and also reliable in a crises, so she's able to often confide in him. It's just that Devi is still a little too wrapped up in her trauma to ~fully~ appreciate him for who he is, whereas Paxton's not the one who has that problem (and people will say that he called her a nerd in the last episode, and I'll reply that he was just trying to convince *himself* of that fact, not that he genuinely believes it. And he said it bc Nalini deeply wounded him the previous episode when she called him dumb so he tried to avoid Devi to avoid dealing with his own insecurities). But that could very well change in season 2. If the writers want to make Ben/Devi a thing, it could be probably play out like Devi realizing that Ben knew all the worst parts of her and still stays, and developing into romance. But if the writers want to make Paxton/Devi a thing, it could be and important lesson for Devi to stop projecting her trauma onto other people and see them for who they really are, which is Paxton being his own person that's been there for her, and not just some hot jock that doesn't have any problems, and most importantly is honest and kind. Someone who would inspire her to be better. Both of these relationships are incredibly important to the show and both dynamics bring out interesting parts of Devi, so let's not bash any characters, especially if/when Devi ends up with one or the other. Anyway, I just had to get that off my chest because the way y'all talk about Paxton makes me wonder if ppl even watched the show, or if they just watched the Ben/Devi scenes and closed their eyes for the rest of it. I love Paxton because he's so much more than what Devi, Ben, or even the viewers think he is. He consistently proves himself better than their assumptions when he's kind and caring and also he's attractive. He's the whole package and I think that's why so many fans have such a knee-jerk reaction to disliking him- because he's simply better than y'all lmfao. also it makes me sad bc there are soo many people who disregard or blatantly misinterpret Paxton, and with how writers nowadays check what fans are saying to cater to them instead of simply trying to write a good story, i have a feel devis either going to be with ben or alone since no one favors paxton.

Richas accent omg I was not expecting that at all. she's so pretty

I am always gonna talk about how they are all stunning and oh Devi and Ben supremacy

CAN WE ALL APPRECIATE THESE QUEENS? Woooow, I love them all. Before season 1, I was totally team Ben. Now, I don't really know what team I am! Paxton is really trying, but Ben has more chemistry with Devi... It's SO hard to choose.

People always stereotype Paxton, but at least the writers room has some people on his side, even if the show does sexualise him too much. Why are viewers so surface level when it comes to Paxton? They don't give him the time of day, it's Archie and Rafael Solano all over again...

I'm still Team Paxton ... His character development in Season 2 was the best ... Hope they don't ruin it in Season 3

I really hope season 3 is exploring paxon and devi's relationship rather than going back to pushing the ben and paxton arguement. Devi should learn how to be in a healthy relationship, one where 1 arguement doesn't persuade you to want to be with ben, especially since ben has a girlfriend, (who might i mention is) Devi's only indian friend. Just let ben be jealous in his little corner with aneesa, Devi deserves her first real boyfriend

I feel like Devi and Ben had a deeper connection than Paxton and Devi because Devi and Ben were kinda friends and Paxton was low key toxic

Let's talk about the chemistry of Paxton and devi omgg 😭❤

TEAM PAXTON ❤️❤️❤️ Together, Devi and Paxton have grown as individuals and have grown as a couple, and I'm so happy for them!!

Nalini's pant suit is just 😍😍😍😍😍

It'll be really cool if paxton finds his passion in history. he adores his grandfather and did really well in that history assignment

Team Paxton! Let their relationship unfold a bit. It will be annoying to focus on the Ben vs. Paxton in the new season. Let the romance fight rest a bit and focus on Devi's healing.

Sorry but for S1 and S2 still team Paxton. I really love his character development 💜💜💜

Lee Rodríguez is soooooo beautiful!!! Love her character also. Love the show !!!

I am team Devi all the way, but I feel like Ben is good for her, and Devi is good for Paxton. Dang, the writers really did dirty on us in the end, I feel like they're both so great

Yep Lee, I'm team Ben too... 🔝

Team paxton im proud of him in this season

#teampaxton let's appreciate our boy he deserves all the loveee

Guys we all know who Devi is gonna end up with, its Ben. Everytime they are not together or one of them is with someone else the other is jealous. Also on a separate side note:- Lee is just Fab, so amazingly beautiful. Love her accent too 😍

Oh no..even the writers aren't sure at this point😲 anything can happen As for me Paxton was great but I'm gonna say Ben has my heart😌🙌

Matriye just slays it she always manages to look sweet and pretty I love her style

This was 22 minutes, but it felt so SHORT. Omg, I luv them

They all look Dazzling 😍❤️!!!

TEAM BEN.. STOP PLAYING

21:58 I love how the writers are split between Ben and Paxton! Hahahaha

100% agree with the season 2 wardrobe! Nalini had the best one!

Honestly I'm team Ben only bc Devi kinda wanted Paxton for his looks not his personality I think he grew a lot and would be a great boyfriend but I just think she connects to Ben more but I will be happy either way

It’s fun seeing the actors as themselves, outside of their characters. Each and everyone of them are such beautiful people! ✌🏻🙂✌🏻

Can’t wait to see Season 3… I totally related to all Devi went through.. good to see what a young Indian girl growing up in America goes through

I’m team Paxton, but at the same time I feel bad for Ben

team ben🥰

I’m not a teenager but I watched all the available episodes on Netflix and enjoyed it so much and can’t wait for the coming season 🤩

Team Devi/Dad honestly sounds like a nice wrap up for the show. There’s a lot of fish in the sea. And who’s to say Devi won’t run into Ben and/or Paxton again in the future?

Lang and Mindy are geniuses! All of these amazing women are phenomenal actresses! The Brown Girl Glow up is real❤️❤️🤩

Team both but right now it’s Paxton cuz of his character development…but ben is so amazing too😭😭😭

I thought that it would be the typical teen show that would decline after the first season but after watching both seasons... it exceeded my expectations. I'm fangirling! I love it.

Wish Devi looked her natural brown skin color here. She is so beautiful!! But who ever did her makeup today made her look kinda white with hints of yellow. I saw other interviews and her makeup is spot on. Team Devi here❤️❤️❤️

Paxton ❤️❤️❤️

omg it's so fun and exciting to see all these women together around a table. Their friendship is so fun and real and it makes me so happy!

I loved Kamala's arc, a woman in STEM, that's some juicy source material right there.

I watched season one & two on one sitting. I love it!

i literally just finished rewatching the last 3 episodes!! SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!

theyre allll soo beautiful !!

This is one of the most amazinggggggg series EVER. So inclusive and so funny and so real.

HOLY COW IT'S ONE DAY LEFT IN MY TIMEZONE! I'M SOOO EXCITED 🔥🤙🏼

Such stunning ladies and their outfits are so lovely, especially Maitreyi’s.

Team Ben all the way! Because they have more in common and Paxton was ashamed of her and she mostly wanted him for his looks and poularity I think

I'm in team Paxton because Paxton loves devi alot there is so much love in his eye for devi ❤

I'm a team paxton. His character really grew throughout the season and he deserves this

Team Paxton!

I love them so much even outside the show the cast's relationship seem so great

one of the best show ever, I love characters that are so real, so ironic, so imperfect

What a brilliant interview!

I totally relate to Devi so much n the tears I shed watching this show and the talks I had with my therapist because of this show. Season 3 better come out now

i love ramona for saying team paxton

Hahahaha I noticed poorna’s accent was gone every time she had a scene with common!!

omg they are all so stunning I CANNOTTT

Thank you for casting an adult actor to play Paxton. I love watching the table sanding scene.

Team ben ❤️

But the way "Team Paxton" is mentioned in the context of making mistakes suggests that no matter how "well" Paxton does in school, he will still be just a hot jock, and one not to be chosen at the end of the day to be safe. lol Isn't the series trying to create new trends on every front?

Team Ben. They have deep history from childhood? Looking forward to S3. This is the new friends TV series for teenagers .It has world wide appeal. 👍😊

I loved every single character 😍

I'm not a fan when they all say kinda the same thing about the show cause let's be honest Netflix has 10000 of similar teens shows that it just became predictable what makes Never Have I Ever so exciting is probably the way that the story is told, and I personally love to see the characters development going through life experiences that I never had

Team both(mostly Ben)

can we recognize how beautiful they all look

loved season 2!!!!! 😂😂😂 i wanted to reallly savor it but i watched it all episodes in two days tho i tried hard.....

Ohh my god It feels like they all speak the same way In real as if they do in the show Wowwww❤

YESSSSSSSSS BEN GETS THE MAJORITYYYYYY!!!!!!!

team ben obvi

Devi😍😍

they're all gorgeous. i loved this show.

I so love this series

Hear me out: Ben is better for Devi, but Paxton is a better person. Paxton is well-adjusted and kind, he has flaws but he works through them without blaming anyone else, he's not petty or jealous or angry or cruel, he forgives easily and doesn't retaliate. We can't say the same things about Ben. Honestly Paxton deserves way better than Devi, who uses him and lies to him and cheats on him, and generally treats him like an object rather than a person. Paxton never objectifies or lies to Devi - when he is ashamed to be with her in public, he has good reason to be. However Paxton is not a good fit with Devi. They don't have a lot in common and their personalities don't work well together. Conversely Ben pushes Devi intellectually and emotionally, he knows her better than almost anyone else and isn't afraid to challenge her. He and Devi are equal partners. I think deep down Devi knows that Ben is more suitable and likes him more - but because she's liked Paxton for so long, she can't give up the dream of being with him. My hope for Season 3 is that Devi and Paxton grow and mature through their relationship, and part ways at the end of the season on good terms and knowing more about themselves. (Then I hope Paxton finds someone else who can see past his good looks and likes him for who he is - and treats him right!)

WHO MAKES RAMONA'S HEELS?? I NEED THEM IN MY LIFE

LOVE THIS INTERVIEW!!!!

Ben Ben Ben!

Love this show! Can't wait for season 3!

Who all are team Ben

Paxton is a genuine guy and forever Paxton and devi shipper❤

I really hope that Devi resolves her trauma in season 3 and that the show focuses on story and character development instead of milking an influential show into numerous seasons with blurred stories. I hope that Kamala doesn't only grow as a student both also learns to communicate how she wants to be treated to Prashant. I feel like he wasn't treated that fairly this season. I mean being a minority in STEM does require you to take the high road sometimes so his advice as reasonable. Might not be the best, but reasonable. For Kamala to just ditch their dinner to go be with the teacher, felt like she treated him wrong by not communicating. Honestly, I want what's best for paxton and Ben, even if that means not ending up with Devi.
