The Sex Lives of College Girls
The popular comedy series The Sex Lives of College Girls will not return for a fourth season on Max. The streaming platform decided to cancel the show after three successful seasons.
Creators Respond to Cancellation
Co-creators Justin Noble and Mindy Kaling shared their thoughts on social media after the news broke.
Justin Noble posted on Instagram, saying he didn’t expect this outcome. He mentioned that the show was one of the most-watched scripted series on Max for about 70 days straight. Despite the cancellation, he revealed that there are talks with other platforms to possibly save the show.
He also expressed his disappointment about the lack of comedy series nowadays, saying, “We need comedy badly.” However, he is proud of the show for giving audiences something fresh—an ensemble comedy led by funny female characters.
Noble praised the cast and crew for their work and thanked Kaling for trusting him with the project. He also appreciated Warner Bros. and Max for believing in the show.
Mindy Kaling didn’t write a statement but posted a slideshow of photos from the show’s three seasons with a black heart emoji as the caption.
About the Show
The Sex Lives of College Girls starred Pauline Chalamet, Amrit Kaur, Alyah Chanelle Scott, Christopher Meyer, Ilia Isorelýs Paulino, and Renika Williams. Season 3 also introduced new cast members Gracie Lawrence and Mia Rodgers.
The show was well-loved for its mix of humor and meaningful stories, but its future remains uncertain as fans wait to see if another network picks it up.
Show’s Popularity
Max does not usually share viewership numbers, but the first two seasons received great reviews from critics. Season 1 had a 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and Season 2 had a 93% rating. However, Season 3 was not as well received, scoring only 29% based on seven reviews.
Now, fans will have to wait and see if another network picks up the show.
Cast and Production
The Season 3 cast included Pauline Chalamet, Amrit Kaur, Alyah Chanelle Scott, Christopher Meyer, Ilia Isorelýs Paulino, Renika Williams, Gracie Lawrence, and Mia Rodgers.
Reneé Rapp, who was a main character in the first two seasons, had a smaller role in Season 3 and had already announced she was leaving the show.
Justin Noble was the showrunner and an executive producer along with Mindy Kaling. Howard Klein of 3 Arts Entertainment was also an executive producer. Kaling’s company, Kaling International, produced the show, and Warner Bros. Television was the studio behind it.
Future of the Show
Warner Bros. Television has not commented on the cancellation, but sources say they are trying to find a new network to continue the series.
