What's Atypical about – and what's going to happen in season 3?

The series follows the Gardeners: Sam (Keir Gilchrist), an 18-year-old who's on the autistic spectrum; his protective younger sister, Casey (Brigette Lundy-Paine); his mum, Elsa (Jennifer Jason Leigh); and dad Doug (Michael Rapaport).

The first season began with Sam announcing that his therapist had encouraged him to "get out there" and start looking for love. As he grows more independent, Elsa struggles to let go of her caregiver role, eventually embarking on an affair. Meanwhile Casey is accepted into a private school on an athletic scholarship.

The third season will no doubt see Casey continue to wrestle with her confused romantic feelings for Izzie, a new school friend — will Casey break up with her boyfriend, Evan, or pretend that her and Izzie's almost-kiss never happened?

Meanwhile the end of season two saw Sam apply to university, on the encouragement of his therapist Julia. He won a place on Denton University's Scientific Illustration course — and season three will hopefully see him adapt to university life.

Who is joining the cast of season 3?

Sara Gilbert, who starred as Darlene in Roseanne and Leslie Winkle in The Big Bang Theory, has tweeted that she's joining the cast of Atypical for season three.
