Never Have I Everis gearing up for itsfourth and final season— but not without a new heartthrob to walk the halls of Sherman Oaks High!
At Tudum: A Netflix Global Fan Event on Saturday, Netflix unveiled a new clip of the cast discussing what fans can expect from the comedy series’upcoming season, and it includes yet another crush for Devi Vishwakumar (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan).
In the video, Ramakrishnan, 20, receives a FaceTime call fromMichael Cimino, who introduces himself as new character Ethan a.k.a. “the new heartthrob of Sherman Oaks High.”
Ramakrishnan’s jaw drops as she sits beside her costars,Darren Barnet(Paxton) andJaren Lewison(Ben) — but Barnet and Lewison are not quite ready for Ramakrishnan to meet another suitor.
“Hey, man! We got ‘handsome nerd’ and ‘cool jock’ covered,” Barnet, 31, tells Cimino, 22.
“Come on, Darren. Don’t worry about it. I’m more of a smoldering bad boy,” he replies.

At mention of that comment, Ramakrishnan quickly realizes how Devi will “have her work cut out for her” during her senior year.
“What? Did you think senior year was gonna be easy?” Cimino charmingly asks.
Barnet and Lewison, 21, then quickly jump into protective mode as they tell Cimino that the call is ending.
“Okay, sorry Michael, I think you’re breaking up,” Lewison says as he presses the button to end the call, while Barnet jokingly adds to Ramakrishnan, “You should probably block that number.”
The clip also teases the return of Paxton, who fans last saw graduate from high school and prepare to go to college in Arizona.
Ramakrishnan says, “Darren, what are you doing here? You graduated. Remember: cap, gown, speech?”

Lewison also believes there will be big changes for his character Ben in season 4.
“Yeah, no. I did not get that at all,” Ramakrishnan flatly responds, to which Lewison says, “Really? Cause it is definitely my biggest [takeaway].”
However, there is one thing Ramakrishnandoeswant to address.
“Can we talk about that ‘boink card’ though?” she asks, referencing last season’scliffhangerin which Ben and Devi finally got together.
Additionally, the group teases more of what’s to come in season 4, including a wedding for one of the characters.
“Whoa, that is not who I expected,” Ramakrishnan exclaims.

Never Have I Everpremiered in April 2020 and follows Indian American teenager Devi as she navigates the ups and downs of high school life.
“Four seasons for a high school show felt like it made sense,” Kaling toldEntertainment Tonightin an April interview. “They can’t be in high school forever. We’ve seen those shows. Like, you’ve been in high school for 12 years. What is going on here?
“Also, the actors get older and it starts looking insane that a 34-year-old is playing a 15-year-old,” she added.
Seasons 1, 2 and 3 ofNever Have I Everare streaming on Netflix. The fourth season is expected to premiere in 2023.
