‘Sex Lives of College Girls’ is a top performer for HBO Max, so they’re bringing it back for season 3

It’s no surprise the streaming giant renewed the Pauline Chalamet, Amrit Kaur, Reneé Rapp, and Alyah Chanelle Scott-led series. Since the launch of season 2, the top-performing Max Original set a new record by delivering an audience more than double that of the series launch in 2021. The news comes after several cancellations at HBO Max, including FBoy Island, Legendary, Love Life, and Minx. 

“Mindy Kaling and Justin Noble continue to brilliantly capture the college experience in the most entertaining and relatable way,” Suzanna Makkos, EVP, Original Comedy and Adult Animation, HBO Max said in a statement. “This series is the perfect balance of comedy, sex, curiosity, and chaos, and we can’t wait to see what the next season brings.”

When does ‘Sex Lives of College Girls’ come back?

At this point, HBO Max hasn’t announced a release date for The Sex Lives of College Girls Season 3. However, the first and second seasons both premiered in November (the first in 2021, the second in 2022). This means fans could see new episodes of College Girls as early as November 2023. Stay tuned to Showbiz Cheat Sheet for the latest release date updates. 

‘The Sex Lives of College Girls’ Season 2 Episodes 9 & 10 are available now 

HBO Max typically drops new episodes at 12 AM PT/3 AM ET. So the final two episodes of The Sex Lives of College Girls Season 2 are available at publication.
