The students of Essex College are back for another year – at least, most of them are. The big news about season three of The Sex Lives of College Girls is that Reneé Rapp, who plays Leighton, is phasing out her college career and will not be returning as a core cast member. Not to worry, we’ve still got the antics of Kimberly (Pauline Chalamet), Bela (Amrit Kaur) and Whitney (Alyah Chanel Scott) to watch.
