However, after a month, the signs started to look bleak for the show, provided Sarah Shahi visited the record and discussed the struggles of the show in season 2. You will get such combined and less-than-ideal stats that means the show ran out of road.
On speaking on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, the actress Sarah Shahi talked about her time in the second season by saying, “I’m not going to put it down, but I definitely did not have the support that I did the first season from the people involved in the show. It became a much different thing for me, and I’m not afraid to say that,”, adding, “I struggled with the material. I just felt the thing that it had the first season — I mean, I’m never gonna work for Netflix again now after saying all this, but I can’t lie. And it was definitely a challenge.”
The Spokesperson speaking to Deadline, “The second season brought the series to a natural close, wrapping up the storyline for key characters whose relationships come to a happy conclusion, adding the streamer is proud of the show and the work put into it by producers, cast, and crew.” Stacy Rukeyser is also reportedly working on a new series with Netflix.
Sex/Life Season 2: Netflix Performance
The credits really go to the Netflix top 10 sites, we have got to watch how well the show performed week-to-week which gives a direct comparison between seasons 1 and 2 and that paints the only story you need.
On this series, you can see that season 1 on its debut pulled in some huge stats with season 2 only managing just over half of the hours.
It has been combined that the fact the show getting departed the top 10s after four weeks and the fact that week 3 saw an over 50% drop meant that Sex/Life was highly unlikely to get a season 2 renewal.
In all, season 2 of Sex/Life was in the Netflix top 10s for four weeks amassing 126.80M hours globally.

Sex/Life Season 3: Expectations
If Sex/Life creator Stacy Rukeyser follows her way, then there may be a certain third season, and had the following to say;
“It’s definitely not intended to be a series finale. I believe there are always more stories to tell with these characters,” she says. The baby news, for example, was important to set up what the next season could be about, Brad and Billie’s blended family.
We’d also be back to that prime question from Season 1, which is, can you have sex and life all at the same time, especially as a new mom.”
Rukeyser had more to say about the remaining story of Sex/Life:
“This show has always been intended to be escapist and inspirational, to inspire women to really look at their lives and make sure they’re happy and that they’re getting what they want, that they’re being all parts of themselves. And I feel that giving them a happy ending is a much better way to inspire women than basically making Billie miserable because she screwed up.”
Netflix has confirmed that the third season will follow the relationship between Billie and Brad, and how it will evolve over the course of Billie’s pregnancy with their baby.
Brad may also have his own challenges with his previous relationship as his wife gave birth to a baby boy, but she choose to leave him thanks to his career taking an unexpected downturn.
Billie’s ex-husband Cooper had an exciting but rough ride in the second season, almost ending with his death after a car crash. A big thanks to the crash that Cooper who have decided to get his affairs in order which led him to reunite with his ex-girlfriend Emily, and before long marry her. In the upcoming season, we can see any challenges the couple faces as Hannnah becomes the stepmother to Cooper and Billie’s children.
