Showrunner Justin Noble shares what the show would explore in a potential season 4.
And then I found it and never looked back.
We have to talk about Bela’s bisexual awakening.

Leighton knew exactly who she was, she just wasn’t comfortable with it yet.
And that’s true of a good percentage of queer people’s coming out journey.
Maybe I am attracted to them.

Bela is and always will be so thirsty.
And you could just see the girls like, “Great!
“We should maybe tell the camera team because they can frame you in certain ways.”

And she was just so down and wonderful to work with the whole time.
There was one moment in episode 2 when Leighton leaves and then they have to run up the stairs.
We hadn’t scripted that they were going to sprint up the stairs.

And then I was like, “Oh my God, does she feel comfortable doing this?”
I’m still one of the only people who knows.
And so I on a little pad wrote down, “Are you okay with this?”
And then I literally, like a seventh grader, wrote: “Yes, no, maybe.”
She was like, “What are you talking about?”
[Laughs] But it’s always fun.
It’s fun to just be like, now they’re holding the box in front of their belly.
There’s certainly an identity crisis in the works.
An identity crisis and maybe a love triangle?
Eli [Michael Provost] coming back felt interesting to us.
I think he learned a lot since he has been with her.
Because I saw where he was coming from.
Kacey was coming in hot.
I think Cooper is redeemable.
At the end of the day, Cooper’s guilty of being tactless.
I would say he could have handled that situation a lot better, but he’s a 20-year-old boy.
Our own inner saboteurs, as RuPaul would say, are really the villain of the story.
So I think Cooper is redeemable, but he has an apology tour ahead of him.
The last thing I will just ask you is we have to touch on Whitney.
This has been in the back of my head since before we wrote the pilot, honestly.
Soccer is a passion of hers, but she has been put through the ringer by doing it.
The Sex Lives of College Girlsis available to stream on Max.
