That\u2019s right, folks: the fourth instalment of the hit Netflix drama is also the show\u2019s last<\/a>.<\/p>\n Netflix confirmed the news back in July alongside the season 4<\/a> trailer.<\/p>\n But naturally, fans are still holding out hope for a surprise season, a Sex Education spin-off<\/a> or a movie wrap-up.<\/p>\n So, why is season 4<\/a> the show\u2019s final instalment and will we ever revisit the Sex Education universe? Read on to find out.<\/p> Although it wasn\u2019t originally intended to be the show\u2019s last, season 4 is now going to be the final outing for Sex Education.<\/p>\n Announcing the decision to end Sex Education in a note<\/a> shared via Netflix, Nunn wrote: \u201cA lot has happened since our first writers room in 2017, when we spent a month in a cramped office above a sex shop, talking about what it felt like to go through puberty.<\/p>\n \u201cWe wanted to make a show that would answer some of the questions we all used to have about love, sex, friendship and our bodies. Something that would have helped our inner teenagers feel a little less alone.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s been overwhelming seeing how the show has connected with people around the world, and we hope it\u2019s made some of you feel a little less alone, too.\u201d<\/p>\n She continued: \u201cWriting this feels bittersweet, as we\u2019ve decided the fourth season will also be the final instalment of our show. This was not an easy decision to make, but as the themes and stories of the new season crystallised, it became clear that this was the right time to graduate.\u201d<\/p>\n Speaking to Netflix Tudum<\/a>, Nunn also said that the decision to end the series with season 4 presented itself when herself and the writers started developing the scripts.<\/p>\n She explained: \u201cDuring 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\u2019ve said everything that I want to say with these characters at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n It makes a lot of sense to end the series now as its stars have gone on to star in some major productions, with plenty more on the horizon.<\/p>\n Asa Butterfield will be featuring in the upcoming Prime Video sequel of Your Christmas or Mine?<\/a>, while Emma Mackey and Ncuti Gatwa<\/a> have more recently featured in box office hit movie Barbie<\/a>.<\/p>\n The next year or so looks especially exciting for Gatwa, who will be the next lead role in\u00a0Doctor Who<\/a>\u00a0at the end of the\u00a060th anniversary specials<\/a>. Gatwa previously told Rolling Stone UK<\/a> that the cast had \u201coutgrown\u201d Sex Education, saying<\/a>: \u201cIt was very hard; it was such a big show.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen you\u2019re telling stories that haven\u2019t been seen before, there\u2019s always a battle as to how to tell them. It wasn\u2019t always joyous. I feel like we\u2019ve outgrown it and we\u2019ve given everything we can to it.\u201d<\/p>\n Following his RadioTimes.com TV 100 win<\/a>, Gatwa reflected on his time in the Netflix series, saying:\u00a0\u201cBeing a part of that ensemble for four years was so special. I made some of my best friends and worked on a project that meant something special to people.\u201d<\/p>\n Other cast members who are also set for some exciting future projects include Aimee Lou Wood, who has been confirmed as one of the leads of new dark comedy film The Gambler Wife<\/a>.<\/p>\n Similarly, Connor Swindells<\/a> will be joining Gillian Anderson and Keeley Hawes<\/a> in Netflix\u2019s Newsnight drama Scoop, as well as reprising his role as David Stirling in season 2 of BBC\u2019s SAS Rogue Heroes<\/a>.<\/p>\n So, it\u2019s safe to say that, while we may not be seeing the cast in their Sex Education roles again, this certainly won\u2019t be the last we hear of them.<\/p>\n While there\u2019s long been mention of the cast\u2019s increasing ages and the fact they\u2019re depicted as teenagers on the show, series creator Nunn has said that there\u2019s definitely potential to explore more in this Sex Education world.<\/p>\n Speaking in an interview with Tudum, she said: \u201cI\u2019m definitely taking a break and thinking about other things, but Moordale is a really rich world, and writing about teenagers is always a lot of fun. So, I think that there\u2019s always potential for more to be explored in that world.\u201d<\/p>\n As for now, there has been no further word on whether our beloved group of students could be getting a spin-off series \u2013 so we\u2019ll just have to wait and see.<\/p> Why won\u2019t there be a Sex Education season 5?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
