Gavin Leatherwood, who plays Nico in The Sex Lives of College Girls, reveals that he won’t return for season 2. The Sex Lives of College Girls, created by Mindy Kaling (The Office, Never Have I Ever) and Justin Noble, focuses on how four college freshmen girls navigate the highs and lows of friendships, relationships, and sex. Season 1 began in November 2021, and season 2 was announced in December, though no release date has been publicized yet.
In The Sex Lives of College Girls season 1, Nico becomes the subject of a conflict between two of the roommates, Kimberly (Pauline Chalamet) and Leighton (Renée Rapp). Nico is Leighton’s older brother and Kimberly’s love interest. When Kimberly and Nico start a relationship, Kimberly keeps it a secret from Leighton.

She starts out the season more reserved about sex than some of her roommates, but through her relationship with Nico, she explores her relationship with her sexuality.
