The stories of Devi (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan), Eleanor (Romona Young) and Fabiola (Lee Rodriguez) through love and life in high school are about to end in Never Have I Ever Season 4. Now, creators Mindy Kaling and Lang Fisher shared the reason behind their decision to put the beloved Netflix series to a close.
The third season ended with a surprising cliffhanger that Devi was ready to sleep with Ben (Jaren Lewison). She had already decided to stay at Sherman Oaks High School instead of transferring to Shrubland school. So, in Never Have I Ever Season 4, Devi will still be dealing with her feelings for Ben and probably for Paxton (Darren Barnet), too.
The Decision to End the Never Have I Ever After Four Seasons
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Fisher and Kaling revealed why they decided to end Never Have I Ever after four seasons.
One of the main reasons is because the characters will be in their senior year next season and the creators can’t keep them in high school for the years to come.
Ending it this time will also give fans the satisfaction they want to see, making it natural by completing their high school stories during their senior year.

Fisher explained,
"It's hard when you have a high school show because you can't keep them in high school forever. The cast gets older and older. Then you start having, like, 30-year-olds going to high school and it's hard to take them to college. I think we felt like this is it, this is good. We can tell this tale and end it the way we want to on a high note and really finish out senior year and it will feel satisfying."
The Start of an End
Kaling, alternatively, talked about the end of Never Have I Ever Season 4 production and how it was like saying goodbye to their much-loved characters.

She said,
"We finished season 4 and it's good. It's just a testament to how hard it is to say goodbye to characters you love writing. It takes a while for writers to figure out characters. You write a pilot and then you hire people and then you get into this groove, that's why so many shows growing up lasted like five seasons too long. [Laughs] But I do feel that, in a couple years, I'll look back on this and say, 'No, that was good that it ended then.' But right now I'm not ready to accept it."
Never Have I Ever Season 4 Love Triangle
Fisher teased that the love triangle between Devi, Ben and Paxton is yet to end. That said, it will continue in Never Have I Ever Season 4.

"The love triangle's not done," she stated. "In season 4, it continues onward. But I think the part that is done is seeing him as this unattainable dream of a hunk. He is no longer that, and they can be more like peers going forward."
The final season’s filming has reportedly wrapped up. However, there are no words yet when the new episodes drop on Netflix.
