Netflix has renewed Sex Education for a third season.
The British comedy drama, starring Gillian Anderson, Asa Butterfield, Emma Mackey, and Ncuti Gatwa, deals with the intertwined lives of several high school students. The first season saw Butterfield’s character, Otis, sneakily set up a sex clinic at school, providing advice he learns via his mother (Anderson) who works as a sex therapist. Season 2 evolved the show into a more character-led story, largely abandoning the ‘case of the week’ style. Season 3 looks likely to continue that trend.

Netflix’s short renewal announcement states that the season goes into production this year. No release date has been set, but both season 1 and 2 aired in January in 2019 and 2020 respectively.
Our review of Sex Education Season 2 said the show “stands tall with bright characters, fun performances, and an unequaled candidness about sex.” Naturally, we’re more than happy to see a third season.
