There are monumental changes ahead for Otis (Asa Butterfield) and everyone around him in the fourth and final season of Sex Education,premiering Sept. 21. Following the closure of Moordale Secondary, students are culture-shocked at their new school, Cavendish Sixth Form College. Even more so than Moordale, Cavendish is an incredibly progressive environment that prioritizes things like sustainability and daily yoga in the communal garden. It even has a popular clique who are held in high regard simply because they’re kind.
“It’s the end as we know it,” Sex Education creator Laurie Nunn tells Tudum about the fourth — and, officially, the final — season of her Netflix hit.
That’s right: The upcoming Season 4 (or, as they say across the pond, “Series 4”) will also be the conclusion of Sex Education. It’s not something Nunn was certain of when she and the writers began scripting the season, but “during 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’ve said everything that I want to say with these characters at this time.”
Bittersweet as it always is to say goodbye, don’t be too sad, because English teens Otis (Asa Butterfield), Eric (Ncuti Gatwa), Maeve (Emma Mackey), Aimee (Aimee Lou Wood), Cal (Dua Saleh), Ruby (Mimi Keene), Jackson (Kedar Williams-Stirling), Viv (Chinenye Ezeudu), and the rest of the gang will get a proper send-off with most of them starting off Season 4 not at Moordale, but at the high-tech, progressive Cavendish Sixth Form College.
