Devi and Paxton’s relationship is finally setting sail, but the waters look a bit rough with a new potential suitor on the horizon.
The trailer for season 3 of Never Have I Ever dropped on Wednesday, teasing the ups and downs that the new couple will go through now that Devi Vishwakumar (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan) and Paxton Hall-Yoshida (Darren Barnet) are officially an item.
The new season picks up following the aftermath of season 2 as Devi and Paxton stroll the halls of Sherman Oaks High hand-in-hand, much to the dismay and envy of their classmates.
“The debut of ‘Daxton’ was unreal. Your social status has skyrocketed so much that now people hate you,” Devi’s friend Eleanor Wong (Ramona Young) can be heard saying over a clip of glaring looks from other girls directed at the protagonist.
With steamy makeup sessions galore throughout the teaser, Paxton and Devi take their romance to the next level, but not without a few bumps in the road – whether they be amusing moments like Devi’s shirt getting caught on her head as she tries to to take it off, or the mounting pressure of everyone’s eyes on her.
“It’s believable that we’re together, right?” Devi asks her friends before another clip of her and Paxton highlights the insecurities in their relationship.
“I like you,” Paxton confesses to Devi. “Yeah, but why? No one else thinks we make any sense,” she rebuttals.
“No, you don’t think we make any sense,” Paxton corrects her.
True to the Mindy Kaling-created show, the trailer features several chaotic and tender moments, but the saying “be careful what you thirst for” rings true, as it not only shows Devi and Ben Gross (Jaren Lewison)’s ever-present bond but a potential new romantic interest that could throw off the already imbalanced dynamic of the love triangle.
“That’s so hot,” says Devi’s cousin Kamala Nandiwadal (Richa Moorjani) as the teen’s mom Dr. Nalini Vishwakumar (Poorna Jagannathan) agrees. “Extremely hot!”
“Let’s see what the human body can do, baby!” enthusiastically adds Devi as the trailer comes to a close.
In addition to the trailer, the series also announced on Wednesday that two actors would be joining the show for season 3: Terry Hu, playing the role of Addison, and Deacon Phillippe, playing the role of Parker.
Season 3 of Never Have I Ever premieres Aug. 12 on Netflix.
