ATYPICAL was such a great surprise for me last year and I’ve been so excited for the upcoming new Season that deals with the fallout of the finale. Casey’s off to a new school, Doug and Elsa are dealing with her discretions, and Sam is just trying to figure it all out.

Netflix released their trailer and key art today – Season 2 will be released Friday Sept 7.

The official description from the streaming giant says:

Atypical is a coming of age story that follows Sam (played by Keir Gilchrist), an 18-year-old on the autistic 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 central theme: what does it really mean to be normal? Jennifer Jason Leigh stars as his mother, Elsa, who is on her own journey of self-discovery. Michael Rapaport plays his father, Doug. Brigette Lundy-Paine (Margot vs Lily, The Glass Castle) plays Sam’s sister, Casey, and Amy Okuda (How to Get Away with Murder) plays a therapist, Julia. 

Additional cast includes Nik Dodani (Alex Strangelove) who plays Sam’s best friend, Zahid, and Jenna Boyd plays Paige, Sam’s on again, off again girlfriend.
