Frustrated

Another great show who deserves more seasons... Why should we bother getting attached to new characters if you're not willing to tell their stories fully 🙄#renewannewithane

What do we know about the final season?
Premiering in 2021, Atypical's final season will consist of 10 half-hour episodes, with stars Jennifer Jason Leigh, Keir Gilchrist, Michael Rapaport, Brigette Lundy-Paine, Nik Dodani, Jenna Boyd, Amy Okuda, Graham Rogers and Fivel Stewart all returning.
"I'm thrilled we'll be doing a season four of 'Atypical," series creator, writer and executive producer Robia Rashid said in a statement, via The Wrap. "And while I'm so sad to be nearing the end of this series, I am extremely grateful to have been able to tell this story."
"Our fans have been such beautiful, vibrant supporters of this show," Rashid continued. "Thank you for being so open to Sam's voice and stories, and those of the entire Gardner family. It's my hope that the legacy of 'Atypical' is that more unheard voices continue to be heard and that even after this series ends, we keep telling funny, emotional stories from underrepresented points of view."
