Talking to ELLE.com in November 2021, the forged shared how necessary it was to be an element of a show that portrays young women’s sex lives in an honest light, with all of its awkwardness, imperfections, and, at times, humorous moments.

“It’s concerning the messiness, especially at that age—everyone’s figuring it out, it’s awkward,” Chalamet said. “I mean, few people know their bodies exactly and what they like. I believe that there’s room with these characters to explore further what meaning for them.”

“We’re just breaking that stigma,” Scott added. “There’s no shame. You’re within the time period of your life where you ought to be exploring your sexuality and what you want and what you don’t like. And that’s what you possibly can just see us do.” Stay tuned for more.

What’s going to it’s about?

Season 2 will “pick up right after Thanksgiving break of their first yr in college. After which this season will take us through the top of that first yr,” showrunner Justin Noble told Entertainment Weekly. Kaling also teased that parts of the story will happen during a Northeast winter, so expect “quite a lot of coats, quite a lot of snow,” she added.

While we haven’t got definitive plot details, the season 1 finale offers some clues for what comes next. Let’s recap, lets?

Bela leaves The Catullan, an exclusive comedy group on campus. After she and fellow members were capable of kick out one in every of the co-editors for sexually assaulting her and one other woman within the club, she realizes the sexism and toxicity persists within the group even with him gone. Other a pair female members in The Catullan also leave and need start a latest group with Bela.

“Opening the door to a world where Bela is doing something that she loves, but now with female cohorts, seems really exciting to us. But as you possibly can imagine, after all, that may include some latest challenges which might be presented to her,” Noble told TVLine.

Are sparks flying between her and Eric (one other co-editor played by Mekki Leeper) too? All Noble says is that “a seed has been planted” for next season. He later added to EW, “I believe Bela could be able to enter right into a relationship.”

Whitney comes clean to her mom about her former affair together with her married coach, Dalton, and so they reach a latest level of trust of their relationship. Now Whitney’s moved on with one other man, Canaan (Chris Meyer), which may very well be explored more next season. “I really like watching them together. Alyah [Chanelle Scott] and Chris [Meyer] are only so unbelievable, and the screen just loves them together. So hopefully higher things on the horizon for Whitney, romantically, and in all other ways,” Noble added to TVLine.

He confirmed to EW that season 2 shall be “picking up with their relationship where it was. After which quite a lot of her journey through season 2 will type of be determining what happens when soccer season’s off.”

Leighton’s relationship with Alicia ends (Alicia says she will’t date someone who’s still closeted), which leaves her heartbroken. When Kimberly finds her crying in bed, Leighton comes out to her and divulges that nobody else knows yet. Her journey in season 2 continues to be being found out. “Will it [her sexuality] be a secret between the 2 of them that the opposite two suitemates don’t find out about? Will Leighton jump out of the closet with two feet? That continues to be to be seen,” Noble said.

“We shall be continuing quite a lot of Leighton’s journey in coming out,” he later confirmed to EW.

And eventually, Kimberly doesn’t get expelled for cheating on her exam, but her scholarship was revoked, which implies she’ll need to search out a approach to pay an additional $23,000 per semester to remain at Essex. That’ll be tough since her family is tight on money. “It leaves her in a complete lot of trouble,” Noble explained. “We’ll just need to see now that we’re lucky enough to maintain her story going, how she’s going to get out of that hole.”

Season 2 will touch on the very relatable issue of student debt and loans through Kimberly’s story, Noble told Entertainment Weekly. “So Kimberly goes to be coping with that quite a bit, determining how you can fix her problem.”
