Netflix’s hit teen high-school drama ‘Never Have I Ever‘ has captivated audiences worldwide with its delightful blend of humor, heart, and relatable coming-of-age experiences. But, one of the show’s unique and surprising aspects, at least for tennis fans, is the voice-over narration by none other than the American tennis legend John McEnroe. However, it looks like this unlikely collaboration might have finally seen its last days.

As the series wrapped up its fourth season, McEnroe’s parting words, “It’s goodbye… for now,” left both fans and the show’s leading lady puzzled about the future of the show.

Never Have I Ever‘ follows the story of Devi Vishwakumar, played by Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, a first-generation Indian-American teenager navigating the complexities of life. The inclusion of John McEnroe as the voice-over narrator is a delightful and unexpected twist. Given that the tennis legend is an unlikely choice for such a role. McEnroe’s distinct voice and signature wit add a layer of depth and charm to the series. It draws a unique connection between the world of sports and the challenges faced by teenagers.

As the fourth season of ‘Never Have I Ever’ came to a close, fans eagerly anticipated the resolution of various storylines. However, McEnroe’s cryptic parting words, “It’s goodbye… for now,” left many wondering about the show’s future and his continued involvement. This puzzling statement also caught the attention of the show’s leading lady, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan. She expressed her curiosity about the possible implications of McEnroe’s message.

During an interview with the Entertainment World, she said, “I’d love to tell you what that means, but I’m not one of the writers“. Further, she added that after reading the script, her reaction was, “Ain’t no way!”. Giving a closing statement she added, “I don’t know what the ‘for now’ means, but it makes sense it exists because Never Have I Ever’s brand is chaos and confusion. That’s what we do. So it makes sense”. She also talked about how this role means a lot to her and no matter where her career takes her, she will always talk about ‘Devi’.

Although it may look like McEnroe’s collaboration with the Netflix series is over, the ‘Superbrat’ has something up his sleeves that will keep his fans enthralled.
