The incoming Doctor Who<\/a> star plays Eric Effiong on the show, a proudly gay student of Moordale Secondary, who finds a new friendship group of kindred spirits upon arrival at Cavendish Sixth Form.<\/p>\n Daniella Pearman joined the show for its final outing, taking the reins from original costume designer Rosa Dias, and told RadioTimes.com<\/a> she worked closely with Gatwa to craft the look of this bold next chapter in Eric\u2019s life.<\/p>\n \u201cNcuti is the best person to dress,\u201d she began. \u201cI mean, he looks incredible in anything and everything. They\u2019re all so amazing at understanding their characters and their story.<\/p> \u201cSo when we were in the costume fitting, we had all his old costumes there and we went through what we wanted to keep and what we wanted to not keep,\u201d continued Pearman. \u201cWe then together went, \u2018Well, where\u2019s he going? What are his influences? These new friends?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Eric\u2019s new clique, nicknamed \u2018The Coven\u2019, is formed of fellow LGBTQ+ students (played by Sex Education newcomers Felix Mufti, Anthony Lexa and Alexandra James), which encourages him to delve deeper into his community than ever before.<\/p>\n \u201cThe pivotal part is when he goes to a queer party,\u201d teases Pearman. \u201cHe\u2019s just like, \u2018Wow, this is my world\u2019. From that point, we then see him take influence from the coven, and be a bit more experimental with what he wears.<\/p>\n \u201cBut obviously, he\u2019s still got that more conservative look at church, so me and Ncuti kind of went, \u2018What would he wear for church? And then what would he wear when he\u2019s out with the coven? Or at college?\u2019 It was a very collaborative process.\u201d<\/p>\n Sex Education is ending with its fourth season on Netflix<\/a>, with Gatwa making clear that he has no plans to return to the role of Eric in the future, telling press that the cast had \u201coutgrown\u201d the series<\/a>.<\/p>\n We\u2019ll be seeing plenty more from the rapidly rising star, however, as he is to become the new face of BBC One\u2019s long-running sci-fi drama Doctor Who, taking over from David Tennant after this November\u2019s 60th anniversary specials<\/a>.<\/p> ![\"Ncuti](\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/ncuti-gatwa-eric-sex-education-s4-3981885.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C413\" "\\"ncuti-gatwa-eric-sex-education-s4\\"\/")
