Welcome to Seventeen Watch Club! If you love to catch up with the latest films or just want to geek out on the next binge-worthy series, look no further. At Watch Club, we pride ourselves in obsessing together over must-see movies or TV drops that you're definitely going to want to know all about. Consider this your source for exclusive cast interviews, fan theories (because we know some plot points live in your mind rent-free), and everything in between — we've got you covered.


The Sex Lives of College Girls is back with a bang. The Gen Z comedy comes from the minds of Never Have I Ever creators Mindy Kaling and Justin Noble and follows four college suitemates during their time at the prestigious Essex College in Vermont. There's posh New Yorker, Leighton, who faces a battle with internalized homophobia; funny girl Bela, who has dreams of becoming a big-shot comedy writer; a college athlete, Whitney, who will do anything to impress her politician mom; and Kimberly, a small-town girl who feels like a small fish in a big pond. Along the way, they each have their own experiences hooking up on campus. The core four ultimately build an unlikely, but unbreakable bond over the course of season one, and it only comes back stronger in the series' highly anticipated second season.

The new season picks up as students return to campus after Thanksgiving break. Not only do our core four tackle the challenges thrown their way at the end of season one, but they're also looking forward to their next semester filled with new faces, parties, and predicaments. With its lighthearted and comedic lens, The Sex Lives of College Girls found a dedicated following as it depicts issues that college students face in their real lives, such as STIs, sexual assault, and coming to terms with their queerness. Season 2 is no different, which is why HBO Max's The Sex Lives of College Girls is our next Seventeen Watch Club pick.

We've hooked you up with an exclusive interview featuring showrunner Justin Noble, who dishes on all the behind-the-scenes details. Of course, we also tapped the show's stars — Reneé Rapp, Alyah Chanelle Scott, Pauline Chalamet, and Amrit Kaur — for their take on season 2.

Ahead, find everything from the show's episode schedule, cast ages, soundtrack, and filming locations (y'know, in case you want to pay Essex a visit IRL). Plus, we've included some sex-ed resources below in case you're looking for more information outside of the show.
