New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Netflix confirmed the news on social media this morning: from creator Mindy Kaling, the coming of age comedy series follows the complicated life of Devi Vishwakumar (played by Maitreyi Ramakrishnan), a first generation Indian-American high schooler, who decides to reinvent herself after the loss of her father. Looking to cast away her nerdy reputation, she seeks to check one thing off her cool to-do list: lose her virginity with the hottest guy in school, Paxton Hall-Yoshida.
The first season ended with Vishwakumar kissing her former enemy, which leads to her finally receiving the attention she desires from her crush Paxton. Then, she's hit with the revelation that she might be moving to India. Drama!
The second season will bring back cast members Poorna Jagannathan, Richa Moorjani, Jaren Lewison, Darren Barnet, Lee Rodriguez and Ramona Young, as well as season 2 newcomer Megan Suri. According to Deadline, Suri will play Aneesa, a new student whose "confidence and radiance" may pose a threat to Devi's romantic pursuits.
