The mockumentary comedy series will premiere on March 13th and a preview has been released. I’ll always look back and remember this time period in my life and just be so incredibly happy that I got to do it.Drama Club is coming soon to Nickelodeon. Instead of holding onto a wrap gift or lifting a favorite prop, she says, “I actually got a tattoo after we wrapped. She’s witty and creative and quirky and thinks outside the box,” Young says-all traits that fit Eleanor to a tee.įilming has already wrapped on Never Have I Ever, but Young has ensured that she’ll have a piece of Eleanor with her forever. That would be none other than Aubrey Plaza. The actor is tight-lipped about her show’s upcoming fourth and final season, but can confirm that knowing it was the last “was just such an emotional roller coaster.” Young also remains mum about the inclusion of an Eleanor-centric episode, although she has her pick for a celebrity to narrate such an installment à la Devi’s John McEnroe or Paxton’s Gigi Hadid. “I really appreciated that the writers created an environment that was cohesive, and they both were comfortable with each other.”

They were both very much in love with each other,” Young says. And coincidentally, that happened, so it was great. “Eleanor had her standards, and she wasn’t going to have sex unless it was in the right atmosphere. That streak continues this season when Trent and Eleanor consummate their relationship-standing up, in the school’s drama room, as a poster of Lin-Manuel Miranda looks on-without a shred of regret. Never Have I Ever has long destigmatized female sexuality, allowing its characters to explore the physicality of their romantic lives without judgment. We were incredibly proud of what we were making the whole time.” “Every step of the way he was just like, ‘Are you okay? How are you feeling? Was this good for you?’ He was just such a gentleman about it that it made the whole process so fun. “He is such a kind, giving actor, and he’ll check in on me because we have some pretty romantic scenes together,” Young says. Young has relished getting the opportunity to work closely with Benjamin Norris, who brings Trent’s soulful, if simplistic musings to life.

So I just continued doing what my parents really encouraged me to do.” “I was always a creative, artistic person,” Young says, “but I was also very shy and hesitant about it.

Young made that decision in part to appease her parents, who had a difficult time accepting their daughter’s decision to pursue acting. She plays the artsy counterpart to Lee Rodriguez’s robotics-obsessed Fabiola, but in reality, Young says, Rodriguez attended drama school while Young was enrolled in a science-focused school. “But from an exterior perspective, it was probably more nerdy and silly…. “I feel like maybe inside my own brain, my high school life was more dramatic and cool,” she says. Playing Eleanor on the Mindy Kaling– and Lang Fisher–created coming-of-age series has also required the 24-year-old to reflect upon her own high school memories. I tried to act like I was from the Bronx, and that take was not used. “I went to pole dancing classes, I watched J.Lo’s behavior and physicality and the way she inflected her words. To nail the two-minute-long scene, Young committed the way her ambitious character might.
