Deacon Phillipe and his grand debut

Deacon Phillipe is all set to make his debut on season three of Netflix’s Never Have I Ever, and the show's co-creator gushed all about his first on-screen role. "Oh my god, he's so good in it," Kaling said at the show's Los Angeles premiere on August 11.

"The thing about him is he has the thing that Reese has where he's so warm and just well-raised. Every person, every member of the crew, and the cast, just wants to learn from everyone. So polite, but he's also really funny, so I can't wait for people to see him on the show."

Are you Team Paxton, Team Ben, or Team Des

Phillippe isn't the only handsome new face headed the show's way. The young star—whose father is Witherspoon's ex-husband Ryan Philippe—plays the debate partner of Devi's role played by Maitraiyi Ramakrishnan’s new love interest Des, played by Anirudh Pisharody. "A little bit of a love square with Anirudh Pisharody," Kaling told Daily Pop. "He's such a great actor. He's so handsome."

Viewers will have to tune in to season three—which dropped on August 12—to determine if they're Team Paxton, Team Ben, or Team Des. Kaling teased that fans can expect another hilarious season full of laughs and smiles. 

"I just love that the show is funny, and it's about family," the 43-year-old shared. "We get to see this incredible cast, Maitreyi's performance is amazing, and there are some really good-looking guys this season."
