Choose a Girl

The Roy family drama will continue, as Succession has been renewed for a fourth season. On Dec. 7, HBO Max announced that Kimberly Finkle (Pauline Chalamet) and her roommate girl gang will attend Essex College for another semester filled with coffee shop shifts and naked shenanigans in season two of The Sex Lives of College Girls. “We are delighted that this comic, honest portrayal of the college condition has resonated for everyone,” Aubrey continued.

Plus, during season two of the series, the actresses noted that they’re more comfortable shooting those sexual scenes—especially thanks to intimacy coordinator Kelley Flynn—although Chalamet shared these moments aren’t as racy as they could be. Kaling always seems to enjoy tinkering with stock characters and story lines, and this might be her most effective fusion of classic and contemporary to date.

The portrayal of casual sex among high-school and college students has been normalized for a few generations now. There’s no longer anything controversial about that kind of stuff on edgy dramas in the vein of Skins and Euphoria, where self-destructive kids transgress just to feel something. Yet these shows can conflate promiscuity with unhappiness and instability, especially for female characters. In giving these smart, solid, lovable young women robust appetites for pleasure, Kaling makes the case that experimentation can be healthy, too. Skylar loves to sext with her fans, and to figure out what gets them off. She also produces fun anal videos, naughty solo play, and she just so happens to be a squirting professional.
