The Sex Lives of College Girls was canceled after three seasons on Max, as per the recent announcement from the co-creator. The series was among the channel's most successful shows and consistently performed critically and commercially, making the cancelation quite shocking.
The series has aired three seasons, with the final season ending without a cliffhanger. However, it was still not the natural resolution to the show's story, as revealed by co-showrunner Justin Noble in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
"No one told us to, like, wrap up the show or anything like that...I think just me as a creator, I’m losing interest in cliffhangers...I think it’s longer than ever between seasons for logistical reasons within the industry, and frankly, I don’t think audiences like cliffhangers the way that they used to," Noble said.

The co-creator also discussed how and why people return to shows that bring them comfort.
"You have to bring back to the show and comfort that you want. That’s why you return to it. So I’m sort of losing interest in what feels perhaps TV fake to me, in a lot of cliffhangers in comedies," he added.
While the show did finish at a point that could be considered an ending, it does have high ratings and reviews, and may find a home on another streaming platform. However, it is worth noting that nothing of that sort has been confirmed yet.
The Sex Lives of College Girls co-creator Noble posted about the cancelation on Instagram and expressed his shock at the decision.
The Sex Lives of College Girls' cancelation came as a shock even to the co-creator
When Noble announced that The Sex Lives of College Girls was canceled after the third season, he was also seemingly shocked by the decision. He expressed the same in a lengthy post on his Instagram handle.
"As creatives, we’re sort of taught to never compliment our own projects. Or even to downplay it when other people do. But here’s the thing: I think The Sex Lives of College Girls is a pretty damn good TV show," he wrote.
He added that Max had decided "not to order a fourth season," noting that they were having discussions with other streaming platforms to host the show. Noble stated that while they are glad that there is "so much interest" around The Sex Lives of College Girls, regardless of what happens he is "proud of the show." He also expressed pride towards the "work that so many incredibly talented people put into it."
"After seeing our show listed as the most watched or second most watched scripted show on the entire platform for about 70 straight days, this is not the outcome I saw coming," he wrote.
The Sex Lives of College Girls was created by Mindy Kaling and Justin Noble. It premiered on November 18, 2021, and its latest season concluded on January 23, 2025. The series holds a 73 percent approval of Rotten Tomatoes and was among the most-watched shows on the platform.
The series starred Pauline Chalamet, Reneé Rapp, Amrit Kaur, Alyah Chanelle Scott, Gavin Leatherwood, Ilia Isorelýs Paulino, and Midori Francis, among many others.
All three seasons of The Sex Lives of College Girls are now available for streaming on Max.
