It\u2019s standard practice for the streaming service to wait a few months to see how the latest season performs, however \u2013 so hopefully we\u2019ll have more amateur sex therapy sessions on our screens in no time.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s everything we know so far about Sex Education season four.<\/p>
Will Sex Education return for season 4?<\/h2>\n
Netflix has not yet renewed Sex Education for a fourth season \u2013 but the cast and crew all seem keen on more comedic sexual escapades at Moordale High.<\/p>\n
Crucially, creator Laurie Nunn is on board, telling The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>. \u201cI think these characters\u2026 they\u2019ve got legs. I think I could do some more with them if we\u2019re given the chance.\u201d<\/p>\n The show\u2019s big-name star Gillian Anderson also seems game to clear her schedule for another season, but pointed out that it\u2019s ultimately up to the executives at Netflix.<\/p>\n \u201cIt has been discussed and I think, given how much people are enjoying it, I don\u2019t see why it wouldn\u2019t [continue], but things change,\u201d Anderson told Collider<\/a>. \u201cThings are changing at Netflix daily, as we speak. And so at the end of the day, it\u2019s nobody\u2019s call but those guys at the top.\u201d<\/p>\n Otis actor Asa Butterfield confirmed that there had been no more news on season four as of September 2021, but did propose a unique idea for a Sex Education film.<\/p>\n \u201c<\/em>[I want a] Christmas movie! Sex Education-themed,\u201d Butterfield told Cosmopolitan UK<\/a>. \u201cWe don\u2019t know [whether there will be more.] It\u2019s out of our hands at this point. I wish I could tell you more, I genuinely don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n Netflix has been a bit trigger-happy with cancellations once shows have reached the three-season mark in the past \u2013 but given the show\u2019s huge popularity, critical acclaim and award wins,<\/a> Sex Education season four seems highly likely.<\/p>\n Netflix has previously given Sex Education relatively quick renewals less than a month after the release of a new season \u2013 so a fourth season will hopefully be announced by the end of October 2021.<\/p>\n We expect Sex Education season four to be released in September 2022\u00a0<\/strong>at the very earliest if it is indeed green-lit.<\/p>\n Sex Education seems to have a reasonably rapid turnaround, as the second season was released almost exactly a year after the first in January 2020.<\/p>\n However, filming of season three was delayed by the coronavirus pandemic, and did not premiere until over eighteen months later in September 2021.<\/p>\n COVID-19 restrictions permitting, Sex Education could hopefully return to a yearly release cycle \u2013 though the show\u2019s preference to shoot\u00a0during the summer months may delay this somewhat.<\/p>\n Despite the show still awaiting a renewal, star Aimee Lou-Wood revealed back in June 2021 that she had already discussed season four storylines<\/a> with the writers.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m actually talking about a storyline for season four at the moment that I\u2019m giving some feedback on,\u201d Lou Wood told RadioTimes.com<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>and other press at a BAFTA Q&A.<\/span><\/p>\n She added: \u201cI\u2019d love to be in the writer\u2019s room for [season four] \u2013 saying that here. But then again\u2026 I\u2019d also like to just go home and learn my lines!\u201d<\/p>\n It seems season three\u2019s delay may have given the writers more time to work on season four \u2013 so there\u2019s a good chance filming can begin shortly after the show\u2019s renewal.<\/p>\n The Sex Education cast<\/a> is quite expansive, and barring any surprise developments we expect them all to return for season four.<\/p>\n This of course includes Asa Butterfield as awkward teenage sex therapist Otis, screen legend Gillian Anderson as his frank mother Jean, a scene-stealing Ncuti Gatwa as his irrepressible best friend Eric and Emma Mackey as troubled social outcast Maeve.<\/p>\n Other actors likely to re-enroll at Moordale include Connor Swindells as former bully Adam, a BAFTA-winning Aimee Lou Wood as ditzy Aimee, Kedar Williams-Stirling as jock Jackson and Alistair Petrie as the stern Mr Groff.<\/p>\n Sex Education does a great job of showcasing its supporting cast of course, so reappearances are likely for Tanya Reynolds as Lily, Mimi Keene as Ruby, Chaneil Kular as Anwar, Patricia Allison as Ola, Mikael Persbrandt as Lily\u2019s dad Jakob, Samantha Spiro as Adam\u2019s mum Maureen, Rakhee Thakrar as Miss Sands and Jim Howick as Mr Hendricks.<\/p>\n Simone Ashley is also expected to return as Untouchables member Olivia, so long as there is not a schedule clash now she is a lead in Bridgerton<\/a>.<\/p>\n The cast list doesn\u2019t stop there however \u2013 Sami Outalbali could be back as Eric\u2019s former boyfriend Rahim, Chinenye Ezeudu will likely return as Jackson\u2019s intelligent tutor Viv while George Robinson may well reappear as Maeve\u2019s neighbour Isaac.<\/p>\n Season three\u2019s new additions will likely reprise their roles also, including Jason Isaacs as Mr Groff\u2019s brother Peter, Dua Saleh as non-binary student Cal and possibly even Jemima Kirke as headmistress Hope Haddon.<\/p>\n We may also see Otis\u2019 dad Remi (James Purefoy) pop up again, as well as Jackson\u2019s mothers Roz (Sharon Duncan-Brewster), and Sofia (Hannah Waddingham).<\/p>\n It remains to be seen whether Maeve\u2019s family will return as they are largely absent from her life \u2013 though Anne Marie-Duff is a likely candidate after appearing in both seasons two and three.<\/p>\n Maeve\u2019s estranged brother Sean (Edward Bluemel) is a less likely prospect, as he has not been seen since season one.<\/p>\n \u201cI have to wait and see really,\u201d Bluemel told RadioTimes.com<\/span><\/strong><\/span>. \u201cIt\u2019s definitely something that has been talked about and I think, judging by people who have watched the show, I think it makes sense if he does return.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s an interesting one playing a character who\u2019s entire schtick is that he\u2019s never there, because you\u2019re like, \u2018Oh yes, I\u2019ve been cast as this brilliant role,\u2019 but his main thing is that he\u2019s never, ever there, so it\u2019s quite funny waiting.\u201d<\/p>\n It seems that season four will see a bit of a shake-up for the show, as costume designer Rosa Dias has teased that the ending of season three will see big repercussions for the series going forward.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen you see series three, the end of it is really quite interesting,\u201d she told\u00a0Metro<\/a>. \u201cWhatever happens in four, if it happens, wow \u2013 the writers have got a challenge. They\u2019ve got a massive challenge on their hands.<\/p>\n \u201cIt will be really interesting to see if they do do four, what they\u2019re going to do. It\u2019s massive.\u201d<\/p>\n We\u2019re unlikely to get any plot details on season four until nearer release, but even with a shake-up we expect the usual comedic and tender exploration of sexual issues while also developing the show\u2019s many memorable characters, addressing important social issues on the way.<\/p>\n We didn\u2019t get a trailer for season three until ten days (!) before release \u2013 so with season four not even green-lit yet never mind filming, don\u2019t expect a trailer for quite a while.<\/p>\n We\u2019ll update this page with the Sex Education season four trailer as soon as it is released.<\/p>\n Sex Education is available to stream on Netflix.\u00a0<\/strong>Check out our guide to the\u00a0best series on Netflix<\/a>\u00a0or the\u00a0best movies on Netflix<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\nSex Education season 4 release date rumours<\/h2>\n
