Is There Going To Be A Season 3 Of Pen15

Okay, let's talk Pen15. You know, that show where grown women play middle schoolers? It’s weird, it's hilarious, and it's surprisingly relatable. But the big question everyone's asking: Will there be a season 3?

The Bad News First

Unfortunately, folks, it's not looking good. As of right now, there are no plans for a season 3 of Pen15. Bummer, right?

Maya Erskine and Anna Konkle, the creators and stars, decided to wrap things up after two seasons. They felt like they told the story they wanted to tell. It's always good when creators end on their own terms!

Why We Love Pen15 (And Why We Miss It)

So, what made Pen15 so darn good? It’s not just about the cringey middle school moments. It’s the raw, honest portrayal of being a young teen girl.

Think back to your own awkward years. The first crushes, the terrible haircuts, the desperate need to fit in. Pen15 captures all of that perfectly, amplified for comedic effect.

The show’s secret weapon is Maya Erskine and Anna Konkle. Seeing them, grown women, navigate these scenarios is part of the fun. They fully commit to the role and it really works!

It's not just cringe comedy, though. Pen15 also has a lot of heart. The friendship between Maya and Anna is genuine and heartwarming, even amidst all the chaos.

Memorable Moments

Remember the sleepover episode? The one with the Ouija board and the questionable dares? Classic Pen15!

Or how about the school dance? The awkward slow dances and the desperate attempts to look cool? So relatable it hurts! It’s all stuff you may have blocked out, but this show forces you to remember.

And let's not forget the AIM screen names. Who didn’t have a ridiculously embarrassing AIM name back in the day? Pen15 brings those memories flooding back.

Why No Season 3? The Speculation

Okay, so why aren't they doing a season 3? The actresses are still relatively young (or can at least convincingly play younger!).

Some speculate it was becoming difficult to maintain the illusion. Playing 13 when you're in your 30s is a tough gig. They really dedicated to the immersion!

Plus, maybe they just felt like they'd said everything they wanted to say about middle school. Sometimes it's best to leave the party before it gets lame.

Never Say Never?

While a season 3 seems unlikely right now, who knows what the future holds? TV revivals are all the rage.

Maybe in a few years, Maya and Anna will revisit their characters. Imagine Maya and Anna dealing with high school drama! That could be comedy gold.

For now, we'll just have to rewatch the first two seasons. And maybe finally deactivate that embarrassing AIM account.

So, What Should You Watch Instead?

Feeling the Pen15 void? Don't despair! There are other shows that capture that awkward-yet-heartwarming vibe.

Check out shows like Eighth Grade or Sex Education. They all explore the trials and tribulations of growing up, with plenty of humor and heart.

Or maybe dive into other shows created by Maya Erskine and Anna Konkle. You might find your next favorite obsession!

In the meantime, let's keep hoping for a Pen15 reunion someday. A girl can dream, right?
