The theme for Season 4 is growth and identity maturation. It is one of the most potent forms of love and emotion that you can really experience. They have learned how to deal with romance and intimacy, and I do think that's something that's underrepresented in media - how intimidating and nerve-wracking and how powerful young love can feel, especially in high school. They even reference - Devi's like, "Are you gonna tell me to hit the hay again?" And Ben's like, "Oh my God, did I say that? I'm so sorry." I think that it shows how much they've grown as people and as prospective partners. When you look at the end of the season, and you look at the aftercare from after they've hooked up that second time, it is very different. It feels weird, but it's not like they're freaked out that they are so regretful, but they just don't know how to process it, so it was very interesting to explore what tone felt right.

How did you and Maitreyi want to show a contrast between those two scenes to illustrate the growth of your characters this season? The final season is essentially bookended with two intimate scenes between Devi and Ben - there's the moment immediately after they hook up in the Season 3 finale, and then the moment when they come back together after saying "I love you" to each other and escaping Nirmala's wedding. Never Have I Ever Let Its Love Triangle Grow With Devi "Actually… I think I love you, Devi."įollowing the premiere of the final season, Lewison sat down with TV Guide to discuss why he thinks Devi and Ben were destined to end up together, the evolution of his friendship and working relationship with Ramakrishnan, and the rom-com inspirations that he used when thinking about the execution of that big "I love you" scene in the finale. "I was in New York, and all of a sudden, I got this feeling that I needed to tell you that I… like you," Ben says nervously. ![]() In the series finale of Never Have I Ever, the hit Netflix dramedy series that graduated on June 8, Ben decides to fly from New York City back to Los Angeles to confess his feelings to Devi, who was enjoying one last summer night with her family and friends - sans Ben - at her grandmother's wedding before moving to New Jersey to start her freshman year at Princeton. Jaren Lewison and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Never Have I Ever Netflixįor Ben Gross ( Jaren Lewison), beginning the next chapter of his life at Columbia University wouldn't have felt complete without one key person: Devi Vishwakumar ( Maitreyi Ramakrishnan), his longtime academic rival and, as it turns out, the only girl he has ever truly loved.
