Ryan Phillippe and Reese Witherspoon's 18-year-old son Deacon Phillippe will make his acting debut in Never Have I Ever season 3. Since April 2020, viewers have tuned into the life of Devi Vishwakumar (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan), an Indian-American high school girl struggling with fitting in, finding love, and dealing with serious family issues. Created by Mindy Kaling, 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 joining 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 join 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 join 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.
