In March of 2022, Gavin Leatherwood revealed to Us Weekly that he would not be returning for Season 2 of "The Sex Lives of College Girls." The actor explained that he was happy that he participated in the first season but that he wanted to pursue other projects instead of returning for the next.
Leatherwood elaborated, " It was such an incredible experience. I think Mindy is brilliant and the cast, everyone's lovely. But with so many amazing opportunities out there, we want to keep spreading our wings and leading ourselves to other projects, so that's the move." Specifically, Leatherwood noted that he would focus on his music career and the single he put out in April 2022. In general, Leatherwood emphasized that he finds it important to seek out jobs that will challenge him and pull him out of his comfort zone in order to grow as an artist.
Despite being excited about new endeavors, Leatherwood admitted that the cast is what he'll miss most. The actor concluded, "The people, of course, [are] the best part. People make the job, you know what I mean? Always, always, always. It's such a lovely community because there's so many talented people, so ... yeah, I'll miss that, and I'll miss them."
