Some also demanded that season 3 should have more episodes compared to the previous two seasons, which had 10 episodes each. To note, the last two episodes of the second season, Sex & Basketball and The Rooming Lottery, are yet to air.

Their streaming date is Thursday, December 15, 2022, so the renewal came before season 2 was even over. Created by Mindy Kaling and Justin Noble, the show was nominated for the 33rd GLAAD Media Awards in 2022 under the Outstanding New TV Series category.

Mindy Kaling and Justin Noble speak about The Sex Lives of College Girls

The Sex Lives of College Girls is Mindy Kaling’s fifth project as a creator after The Mindy Project, Champions, Four Weddings and a Funeral, and Never Have I Ever. Like with Never Have I Ever, she is also associated with The Sex Lives of College Girls as a writer and executive producer.

When asked what prompted her to do a college drama, Kaling said that she grew up watching and loving all the college comedies that were "fratty" like Animal House. She added that the movies were all from a white male point of view and that she had a great time in college and wished that she could see the same on TV.

She highlighted that such shows haven’t been done before and added:

“It’s really fun to be these pioneers in these spaces and show really fun, inclusive casts and people who don’t normally get to be in these kinds of shows. We’re having a really good time.”

On his part, Noble said that the USP of the show is that they “tackle issues that girls who are 18, 19 and 20 are dealing with, which are, unfortunately, plentiful.”

The Sex Lives of College Girls has been bankrolled by Kaling International, Inc., 3 Arts Entertainment, and Warner Bros. Television.
