Finally, after what felt like forever, The Sex Lives of College Girls is coming back for season three. Max just dropped a short teaser on Wednesday, October 9, giving fans a sneak peek of what’s to come and (drumroll, please) the official release date.

But before I dive into all the juicy details, let me quickly mention those major cliffhangers from the end of season two. If you recall, Whitney saw Kimberly kissing her ex, Canaan, and that pretty much sealed her decision to switch up her living situation for sophomore year. Meanwhile, Bela was ready to leave Essex behind altogether after the comedy scene drama blew up on campus.

So, what can fans expect from season three of The Sex Lives of College Girls? Keep reading for all the deets on the plot, premiere date, cast, teaser and more.

1. What Is the Sex Lives of College Girls Season 3 Premiere Date?

Season three is arriving just in time for the holidays. The premiere drops on Max on Thursday, November 21, with new episodes airing weekly at 9:00 p.m. all the way through January 23. Perfect for cozy winter nights.

2. Who Will Star in The Sex Lives of College Girls Season 3?

Here’s where things get a little switch-up. Season three will welcome back all our faves: Pauline Chalamet (Kimberly), Amrit Kaur (Bela), Alyah Chanelle Scott (Whitney), Christopher Meyer (Canaan), Ilia Isorelýs Paulino (Lila, Kimberly’s coworker) and Renika Williams (Willow, Whitney’s teammate). And yes, Renee Rapp is back as Leighton, but here’s the catch—she won't be a series regular and it will be her final season.

Back in July 2023, Rapp announced the news in a statement, writing, “Thank u mindy, justin and everyone at Max for believing in me. a lot of queer work gets belittled—but playing Leighton has changed my life. i love who I am 10x more than I did before knowing her. i hope she gave y'all a little bit of that too…I'm so excited for this season and I can't wait for you to see what we have coming for her and the girls.”

But that’s not all—season three is also bringing in some fresh faces. Gracie Lawrence joins the cast as Kacey, a new transfer student at Essex and Mia Rodgers steps in as Taylor, a first-year international student.

New drama, new friendships? I'm so ready.

3. What Is The Sex Lives of College Girls Season 3 About?

While there’s no official description for season three just yet, the teaser gives us a peek at what’s coming. It kicks off with our favorite foursome back at it—Kimberly and Whitney stumble into their dorm in the morning, only to find Bela and Leighton waiting for them.

“A double walk of shame? I have to record this historic moment in our suite,” Bela quips as she whips out her phone. “Say dicked down on three.” Kimberly is all in, but Whitney’s having none of it, replying with a firm, “Absolutely not.”

Season three of The Sex Lives of College Girls also promises more of the same wild parties, laugh-out-loud accidents and epic roommate bonding. Oh, and the relationship drama is definitely back. Bela’s latest crush? None other than the school’s mascot, Franklin the Fox. And, I don't blame her, after all, he is rocking a six-pack of abs. Kimberly’s reaction, though, is priceless with a confused, “I’m sorry, what?”

Meanwhile, Kimberly’s romantic life is taking a hilarious turn when she confesses to Whitney that she “just swiped right” on Whitney’s dad on a dating app. Whitney’s shocked response? “You did what?!”

In one of the final scenes, Whitney walks into a bathroom filled with girls doing their makeup, their faces beaming with the stark clash of contour and concealer. “We were just getting ready to head out,” one of the girls says. Whitney raises an eyebrow and replies, “Are you going to blend?”

So needless to say, fans are in for a wild ride this season.
