When “The Sex Lives of College Girls” ended its four-part run last month, the show easily stood as the U.S.’ most critically acclaimed (and tweeted-about) single-camera dramedy of 2017. The show attracted a huge viewership (more than 5 million viewers) across multiple platforms, thanks in large part to the anthology format which let each episode focus on a very different character navigating the unconventional sexual terrain of college.
The latest installment, following Emma, recently became the show’s second-highest-rated telecast ever (with around 2.9 million viewers) on Epix, the premium cable channel that premiered “Sex Lives” last year, and has now ordered a fourth chapter. Shot in late 2017, director Monica DiCiccio’s series is now shooting episodes for a debut next fall.
“Sex Lives of College Girls” centered on two sisters, Rebekah and Anna, whose college years are thrown off course when their eccentric mother begins a relationship with a young, successful older man.
Previously I interviewed show creators Emma Kimble, Tony Tackaberry and Andrew Lee Potts about their ambitious single-camera dramedy that taps into the maturation of women’s sexual experiences, from New York to LA to a university campus.
