“We were very much hoping to find a new home for that one, and I think we’ve now come to the end of the road, which is disappointing, because it’s a show that we really love,” Warner Bros. TV Group chairman Channing Dungey said in a statement. “I’m so proud of the three seasons that we did at Max but I don’t think there’s going to be more of College Girls.”
The Sex Lives Of College Girls initially starred Pauline Chalamet, Amrit Kaur, Alyah Chanelle Scott, and Reneé Rapp as a group of mismatched roommates at the fictional Essex College. The series’ third (and now final) season saw Rapp’s departure as a regular cast member, as well as the introduction of a brand new roommate in Gracie Lawrence.
While the third season in particular had some issues with pacing and narrative, co-creator Justin Noble expressed how proud he was that SLOCG managed to be “the thing that we weren’t seeing enough of: a hard comedy ensemble where ladies get the jokes” in a social media post announcing its Max cancellation. At the time, Warner Bros. TV was believed to be in talks with Netflix for the show, but Deadline characterized a potential transfer as a “long-shot.” Evidently, those conversations didn’t pan out.
While Kimberly, Bela, Whitney, and Kacey may have to mood board some new five-year plans, Noble is still happy with what ended up being the show’s final form. “No matter what happens, The Sex Lives Of College Girls has three seasons that showcased incredible performances and told so many important stories while also managing to fill those stories with laughs,” he wrote. “In a world of ‘content’, it’s a show that strived to make sure it entertained—and I feel we did that.”
