Max’s comedy The sex lives of college girls says goodbye to one of his main quartet partners.
Renee Rapp will be leaving the series during its upcoming third season. The actress and recording artist will appear in a few episodes, but as a recurring guest star rather than a series regular, marking the departure of her character Leighton Murray from Essex College.
The show’s second season ended with Leighton coming out to her father and leaving her sorority while her housemates dealt with their own issues.
Rapp plays Regina George in the Bad Girls musical on Broadway and is reprising the role in the film version, which began production in the spring. She also signed with Interscope Records and released a debut EP, Everything for everyone, last year. Her first full-length album, Snow angelexpected to be released in August.
Max renewed The sex lives of college girls for a third season in December. The series, created by Mindy Kaling and Justin Noble (who is the showrunner), also stars Pauline Chalamet, Amrit Kaur and Alia Chanel Scott.
Deadline first reported Rapp’s impending departure.
