‘The Sex Lives Of College Girls’ Co-Creator Justin Noble On Season 2 And The Juxtapositions Of Campus Life

deadline.com:

SPOILER ALERT: This post contains plot details from the first two episodes of The Sex Lives of College Girls Season 2 After a year-long hiatus, The Sex Lives of College Girls has returned to HBO Max, but not that much time has passed for the students at Essex College.

After the quick reprieve of fall break, Kimberly (Pauline Chalamet), Leighton (Reneé Rapp), Bela (Amrit Kaur) and Whitney (Alyah Chanelle Scott) are back on campus to finish their first semester with a newfound sense of assurance that only comes from spending a few months floundering. “I think that there’s just such a confidence that comes with settling in at a new place.

They’ve grown a little bit as a family and they’re ready to make some changes towards who they’re going to be as individuals,” series co-creator Justin Noble told Deadline. “There’s so much evolution that happens very quickly over the first year when you leave your parents’ home and go away to school for the first time.” When we meet the four women again, Kimberly has just driven 39 hours in a minivan to be reunited with her suite mates — two of whom are so rich that, when Bela suggests maybe they could help pay for Kimberly to stay at Essex after losing her scholarship, their responses are: “We’re politician rich” and “Most of my family’s wealth is tied up in real estate and several race horses.” “You guys don’t need to make your rich families sound poor.

I would never ask either of you for money,” Kimberly quips back. In so many ways, the interaction sums up the essence of the series.
