‘Sex Education’ Ending With Season 4 at Netflix — Watch Teaser (VIDEO)
Sex Education will end with Season 4. The hit British comedy starring Asa Butterfield, Emma Mackey, Ncuti Gatwa, Gillian Anderson, and more returns for one last season on September 21. Prior to the announcement, an Instagram post from Gatwa bidding farewell to his character, Eric, made fans believe he was either leaving the series or the series was coming to an end.
The answer was the latter. Netflix announced the impending end of the series on July 5, in addition to confirming the Season 4 release date and sharing the first teaser for eager fans. See the video, which shows the characters you love adjusting to their new school after the closing of Moordale Secondary, above. Otis intends to set up a new sex-ed clinic at this new school, but he’s not the only teen “sex therapist” at the progressive Cavendish.
Netflix promises Sex Education is “going out on a high,” saying, “This season will be full of love, laughter, tears, friendship, new relationships…(and old).” Here’s the Season 4 logline: “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. 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…”
