Ryan Phillippe and Reese Witherspoon's 18-year-old son Deacon Phillippe will make his acting debut in Never Have I Ever season 3 is set to debut on August 12, picking up with Devi as she embarks on a new relationship.
CNN now reports that Phillippe will be ing the Never Have I Ever season 3 cast. He will be portraying Parker, Devi's rival on the debate team. Parker is financially well-off and privileged at his school, and he seems to care more about partying than studying for debates. It isn't yet clear how big of a role Phillippe will have on the show.
Phillippe will Ramakrishnan, Poorna Jagannathan, Darren Barnet, Jaren Lewison, Richa Moorjani, Lee Rodriguez, Ramona Young, and more on the coming-of-age series. His character sounds exactly like the person Devi wouldn't get along with, considering their very different lifestyles. It will be interesting to see how the creative team chooses to differentiate her relationship with Parker from the one she has with Ben (Lewison), which is rooted in their academic rivalry. With Never Have I Ever ending with season 4, it looks like there's still plenty of room for new characters like Parker to the series before it's too late. Phillippe is following in some big footsteps, but he should make an excellent addition to the Never Have I Ever season 3 cast.
Never Have I Ever season 3 premieres Friday, August 12 on Netflix.
