It's been two years since the first season of the comedy-drama "Never Have I Ever" debuted on Netflix. Fans heartily received its offerings which consisted of ten episodes that originally aired on April 27, 2020.
Since then, the series has garnered critical acclaim not only for its enthralling cast delivery but also for being a landmark event for South Asian representation in Hollywood and shattering prejudices about the South Asians.

"Never Have I Ever" also received criticism from critics who stated that some scenes from the show were stereotypical. However, such negative reviews did not stop the streaming service from renewing the show for a second season.
With season two already concluded and season three set to debut in the summer of 2022, Netflix has gone ahead to greenlight the production of the show's fourth and final season.
Co-Creators Mindy Kaling and Lang Fisher Announced The Renewal On Twitter
Fans heard of the news from co-creators Mindy Kaling and Lang Fisher. The duo jointly announced the information in a recent tweet via Kaling's account.
