Netflix released the trailer for the fourth and final season ofAtypical, its touching comedy-drama about Sam Gardner (Keir Gilchrist), a young man who has autism spectrum disorder. The series will come to an end after Season 4 gets released this summer, and the new trailer teases an emotional goodbye.
The trailer shows us Sam as he moves to a new home, taking another step towards independence. His mother, Elsa (Jennifer Jason Leigh), doesn’t hide how proud she is, at the same time that she tells Sam she’ll call him every night. As if moving out of her mother’s house and getting to college wasn’t stressful enough, Sam will have to face academic probation as he tries to figure out what he really wants for his future.
