As the series progresses, Sam grows more and more independent. Later, his mother Elsa gets into an affair with a bartender, and when Sam’s father Doug kicks her out when he learns of her affair.

Atypical Season 4 Plot:
Brigette Lundy-Paine who plays Casey was asked how her character evolved through the seasons in an interview. To that, she replied: “Casey is at a very tender age of 16, and for her, I think she is trying to figure out what works and what feels good amid everything around her being big chaos.
However, she is grown up with the chaos, and her family has also been in turmoil and tried to work with it by normalizing it. Even though she is a teenager, she is, in a way, a protector of the family. But now, Casey has these feelings for this girl, Izzie. So it will be great to explore that aspect.”
Atypical Season 4 Expectations:
The show represents the autism community with empathy and thoughtfulness, and Executive producer made the following statement: “We have a lot of awareness about representing all of our characters, but in particular Sam” She proceeded to say that they’re working with consultants to keep the show authentic, and Keir’s also doing his own research.
So, if the next season comes out, it’ll probably follow Sam in college as he learns how to deal with his impulsive roommate Zahid. On the other hand, Casey’s going to need to balance her track ambitions with her new love life. Although we still can’t say for sure due to lack of information, the new season will definitely be a banger.
Conclusion
The new season is likely to come out during 2021, but not much is known about the new season except that it’ll probably feature Sam’s story as he progresses through college, and learns to handle his roommate Zahid.
All-in-all, the new season will most likely be a great hit as the show only gets better season-by-season. So, there’s no reason it won’t be amazing. The season may feature some new characters, but for now, this is all the information that’s available at the moment.
