Fans have been left gutted after Netflix announced that series four of Sex Education will be the last ever. It brings to an end the wildly popular show starring the likes of Ncuti Gatwa, Asa Butterfield, Mimi Keene, Gillian Anderson and Emma Mackey.
Show creator Laurie Nunn told Netflix's Tudum that the fourth series wasn't originally set to be the last, but things have come to a natural end. Recalling when Nunn and the writers began scripting the season, she said: "During that process it just started to feel very clear that the stories were coming to an end, the characters were being left in a place that I felt really good about it.
"I felt happy for them, and I felt like I've said everything that I want to say with these characters at this time." In reaction to the bittersweet news that Sex Education will be airing its fourth and final season, fans took to social media to react.
