'Atypical': Everything we can expect from Season 3
Creator Robia Rashid's show 'Atypical', starring Keir Gilchrist and Jennifer Jason Leigh, is set to return on Netflix for a third season. Unlike the first season which consisted of eight episodes, the third season is set to extend for up to 10 episodes, like the second season. The news of the show's return for a third season comes only a month and a half after Season 2's premiere on Netflix in September.
'Atypical' follows the story of Sam (played by Gilchrist) who is on the autism spectrum. However, Sam's story is as ordinary (yet extraordinary) as any other regular kid of his age as he tries to fit into the world that claims itself to be "normal" but is actually pretty messed up in itself. A penguin fanatic, a science geek, and an adorable best friend, Sam's quest to find true love lead him to discover the true meaning of friendship, brotherhood, and what it takes to be the "right guy". Other than focusing on Sam's plight to be the "normal" guy, the show also poses a very important question- what does it really mean to be normal?
