Atypical will soon be back on screens as Season 3 comes to Netflix and sees Sam (played by Keir Gilchrist) head to college while the rest of the Gardners face dramas of their own. Fans have just enough time to catch-up on the previous two seasons before the new one starts streaming.
When does Atypical Season 3 come out on Netflix?
The Netflix release date for Atypical Season 3 will be 12:01 a.m. Pacific time on Friday, November 1. When the show is streaming in your region will depend on your time difference from America's west coast—in New York, for example, episodes will be released at 3:01 a.m.
Like Season 2, the new season will have 10 episodes, all of which will be streaming at once on Netflix. Until then, the first two seasons are streaming now on the service.
What will happen in Atypical Season 3?
The Netflix summary for the new season of the show reads: "Atypical is a coming of age story that follows Sam (played by Keir Gilchrist), a 19-year-old on the autism spectrum as he searches for love and independence. While Sam is on his funny and emotional journey of self-discovery, the rest of his family must grapple with change in their own lives as they all struggle with the ongoing central theme of the series: what does it really mean to be normal?
"In Season 3, Sam starts his first year of college and is faced with the challenge of figuring out what success means for him, while adjusting to the changes that come with growing up."
Atypical Season 3 also sees a number of new characters join the show, including Roseanne's Sara Gilbert as Sam's new college ethics professor and Will & Grace's Eric McCormack as his art professor.
Series creator Robia Rashid told TV Guide about the new season: "Season 3 is sort of about success, like what does success mean? ... [Sam] wants to be successful, not just in college, but also in his relationship. And a lot of times with [Autistic Spectrum Disorder] — but also I think with 19-year-olds in general — it can be tricky to split your focus. That's going to be a big focus in Season 3; how does he balance his relationship with Paige, and school, his friendship with Zahid, and his job, and everything else in his life?"
The show has already had some glowing reviews, with Forbes saying of it, "in the golden age of cynical comedy, it's hard to break through with a heartfelt sitcom... Yet, Netflix has managed to pull it off for two seasons in a row with their comedy Atypical. Now... it can be said the show's streak will continue going into its third."
Atypical Season 3 is released on November 1 on Netflix.
