The second season of Netflix’s hit series Never Have I Ever is now streaming on the platform, where we get to see the continuation of Devi Vishwakumar’s entertaining journey through her teenage years.
While there’s plenty to digest from season 2, one of the things that people can’t stop talking about is the guest appearance of rapper-actor Common, who plays Dr. Chris Jackson, a rival and love interest for Devi’s mom, Nalini.
While Common’s guest stint in Never Have I Ever might come as a surprise to some, it makes sense given Common’s love for the series, which was a comfort for him during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Last year when everything stood still, I started watching a few shows. A friend of mine told me to watch Never Have I Ever,” Common told EW.com. “It was touching my heart. I watched at least the first five episodes [immediately] and then I couldn’t wait to watch the next ones. I was really impacted by how good I felt watching it. It had a lot of things that I love in movies and great TV shows.”
So it made sense for Common to make a guest appearance in the second season, where the door was left open for an eventual return, should the series be green-lit for a third season.
Twitter was full of reactions to Common’s appearance, which included surprise and plenty of swooning.
