What The Sex Lives Of College Girls' Cancelation Means For The Show
Why Was It Canceled?
The cancelation comes nearly two months afterThe Sex Lives of College Girlsseason 3 ended. Signs of the cancelation were evident, especially with the earlyexit of original cast member Reneé Rapp, who left the show to focus on her music career. Without Rapp, the show’s third season struggled to match the critical acclaim, audience enthusiasm, and viewership of the first two seasons. In turn, declining ratings are believed to be the key factor in Max’s decision to cancel the series.
The Sex Lives Of College Girls Season 4: Cancelation & Everything We Know
Max’s dramedy series The Sex Lives of College Girls returned for its third season in 2024, but it has been canceled before season 4.
Its cancelation means that, if it isn’t picked up elsewhere, season 3’s ending will serve as the series finale. This isn’t the worst-case scenario sincethe season 3 finale wraps up all the major storylines with satisfying endingsrather than cliffhangers. Each character experiences a fulfilling resolution – Whitney leads a student-athlete protest, Kimberly takes a stand against the administration, Taylor experiences emotional growth, and Bela’s coming-out moment is heartwarming and refreshingly positive. Co-creator Justin Noble intentionally opted for a joyful, complete ending, making season 3 feel conclusive while leaving room for future stories.
Our Take On The Sex Lives Of College Girls' Cancelation
Will It Find A New Home?
Netflix is considered a possible landing spot sinceThe Sex Lives of College Girlsco-creator Mindy Kaling currently has two hit shows on the streaming service,Never Have I EverandRunning Point, the latter also produced by WBTV. However, transferring an existing series from one streaming platform to another is a lot more complicated than that. However, WBTV did manage to do it withDead Boy Detectives, moving it from Max to Netflix before the show even premiered.
If Netflix is interested inThe Sex Lives of College Girls, the studio will need to secure the rights to the first three seasons from Max and various distributors around the world who own the international rights. In turn, this makes its move to Netflix all that much more complex. This is why it’s reportedly a long shot, but whether a deal can get done remains to be seen.
