In a surprise to no one, the popular and lovely coming-of-age teen sex dramedy series Sex Education is getting a fourth season. Netflix announced the renewal at their big TUDUM event.
For those who are unfamiliar with the show, it started out as the story of the nervous young Otis (Asa Butterfield), who had gleaned a bunch of wisdom about sex from his sex therapist mother Jean (Gillian Anderson). When fellow student Maeve (Emma Mackey) realizes there’s money to be made from Otis doling out advice, the two hatch a scheme to help their high school’s sexually active student body.
While a lesser show would have been exploitative about all the sex, Sex Education is surprisingly sweet and works to present sex in a positive light rather than something that should be feared or shunned. It’s a tricky balancing act that the showrunners have made look easy, and it’s clear that show’s popularity hasn’t subsided since Season 3 only hit a week ago and Netflix has already greenlit a fourth season.
