Jeff Garlin has got himself a new gig: playing a “sweet man” on Never Have I Ever‘s upcoming fourth and final season, our sister site Deadline reports.
The role is Garlin’s first since leaving ABC’s The Goldbergs in December 2021 following a human resources investigation stemming from several complaints about his on-set behavior. His character, Murray, was killed off-screen in between seasons; the death was referenced in the Season 10 premiere.
Garlin remains a member of the cast of HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm, which was renewed for Season 12 in August.
On Never Have I Ever, Garlin will play Len, who “fixes a mean sandwich” and who will prompt Devi’s widowed mother, Nirmala, to think about whether she is truly done with relationships.
The Netflix series’ Season 4 will also be its last. The coming-of-age comedy from Mindy Kaling and Lang Fisher stars Maitreyi Ramakrishnan as Devi, a first-generation Indian American teen who’s grieving her recently deceased father and trying to navigate the social and romantic pitfalls of high school.
Never Have I Ever‘s final run of episodes is slated to begin streaming sometime in 2023.
