A Bittersweet First Look at Final Season of 'Sex Education'
The end of August is fast approaching, which means for many, including the beloved characters of Sex Education, it’s time to head back to school. For the cast of Sex Education, they’re heading back to school for the last time, as the fourth season, premiering this fall, will be the show’s last. But the show’s creator, Laurie Nunn, recently gave fans hope for future spin-offs.
In a heartfelt letter to fans in July, Nunn announced in a heartfelt letter that the fourth season would mark the end of the show’s almost five-year run. While you savor the last days of summer, you can savor the last days of anticipation leading up to Season 4 of Sex Education, as Netflix has revealed the first look images of the season. As exciting as the photos are, it’s bittersweet to know that some familiar faces will be absent from the new season. Olivia (Simone Ashley), Lily (Tanya Reynolds), Ola (Patricia Allison), and Emily (Rakhee Thakrar) are all among the characters who will not return for Season 4.
But never fear, plenty of the show’s fan-favorite characters will be sticking around, despite the cast’s swift rise to international fame since the show began. Stars Asa Butterfield (Choose or Die), Gillian Anderson (The Crown), Ncuti Gatwa (of soon-to-be Doctor Who fame), and Emma Mackey (Emma) will return. Gatwa, Mackey, and co-star Connor Swindells (Rogue Heroes) all hit the big screen earlier this summer in everyone’s favorite summer blockbuster, Greta Gerwig’s Barbie.
