Sex Education set to END as Netflix reveals release date and teaser for final season

The final season of Sex Education lands on Netflix in less than three months time!

But while it may be being billed as the show's "final season", Sex Education's creator has teased we may see more from the likes of Otis, Maeve and Adam in the future.

Lead characters Asa Butterfield, Barbie star Emma Mackey and the new Doctor Who Ncuti Gatwa all return for the fourth installment of the award-winning comedy-drama.

Also appearing alongside series regulars like Gillian Anderson, Aimee-Lou Wood, and Connor Swindells is Emmy award winning actor and Schitt’s Creek star Dan Levy, a new character for the show's final outing.

Doctor Who star Thaddea Graham ), actress and model Jodie Turner Smith and comedian Eshaan Akbar are also scheduled to pop up throughout Sex Education's farewell series.

"We are incredibly proud of Sex Education and feel indebted to our brilliant writers, cast and crew who put so much heart into making every episode. They have worked tirelessly to bring you the final series, and we can’t wait to share it with you," creator, lead writer and executive producer, Laurie Nunn said in a letter to fans when announcing the release date.

Since premiering on Netflix in 2019, Sex Education has been nominated and won multiple awards, including the top prize for Best Comedy Series for season 3 at the 50th International Emmy Awards in 2022.

The fourth and final season of Sex Education arrives on Netflix on September 21, 2023 and promises to be the best one yet.

"Following the closure of Moordale Secondary, Otis and Eric now face a new frontier - their first day at Cavendish Sixth Form College. Otis is nervous about setting up his new clinic, whilst Eric is praying they won’t be losers again," a synopsis for the upcoming series reads.

"But Cavendish is a culture shock for all the Moordale students - they thought they were progressive but this new college is another level. There’s daily yoga in the communal garden, a strong sustainability vibe and a group of kids who are popular for being… kind?!"

It continues: "Viv is totally thrown by the college’s student-led, non-competitive approach, while Jackson is still struggling to get over Cal. Aimee tries something new by taking an Art A-Level and Adam grapples with whether mainstream education is for him.

"Over in the US, Maeve is living her dream at prestigious Wallace University, being taught by cult author Thomas Molloy. Otis is pining after her, whilst adjusting to not being an only child at home, or the only therapist on campus…"

Speaking to Netflix's Tudum outlet, Sex Education's creator Laurie admits season four isn't necessarily the last we'll see of Moordale and all our favourite characters.

"I’m definitely taking a break and thinking about other things," she explained.

"But Moordale is a really rich world, and writing about teenagers is always a lot of fun. So, I think that there’s always potential for more to be explored in that world."
