Is the Reality Show the Four Going to Air Again
Sex Education seasons 1-3 spoilers follow.
Sex Education is one of Netflix's most beloved smash hits, with season three leaving us desperate to know what the future holds.
Thankfully, we already have confirmation that season four is coming… but is this the beginning of the end of the series? Where do they go now after that cliffhanger season three finale? And Ncuti Gatwa's time on the show might be coming to an end soon as well...
Whatever happens, we're sure we're about to see some awkward sexual encounters as the teens try (and often fail disastrously) to figure out life and love the best way they can.
Here's everything we know so far about when we'll return to Moordale.
Sex Education season 4 potential release date: When will it air?
Sex Education was officially given the go-ahead for season four in September 2021 – although that was all the information we were given at the time though a school 'news bulletin'.
And, unfortunately, that's all we've got so far. As of February 2022, there is no news on when the show will even go back into production, let alone be released.

Season three broke the show's tradition of being released in a January slot, thanks to the pandemic (which as we all know, threw a spanner into everything over the past few years). Instead, it was released in early September.
COVID protocols on set made shooting a "slow and painful" process creator Laurie Nunn told the Evening Standard , adding: "Everybody [on set] really had to dig quite deep – there were a lot of emotions swirling around."
As a result, at an estimated guess and thanks to the show's lack of need for vast special effects to be completed, we can at least keep our fingers crossed for a 2022 release date.
We have our money on it being in September again… right in time for a new school year!
Sex Education season 4 cast: Who's in it?
Sex Education just wouldn't be the show it is without its A+ ensemble cast, each bringing a colourful and wonderfully weird character to live in the Welsh suburbs.
Leading this is Asa Butterfield as Otis, and bonafide legend Gillian Anderson as his sex therapist mother, Jean.
While we saw her disappear to America at the end of season three for an education programme, we can't imagine season four won't see the return of Maeve, played by Emma Mackey, either.
Then we have Otis's lifelong bestie, Eric (Ncuti Gatwa), and Maeve's number one pal, Aimee (Aimee Lou Wood).
Completing the cast, we're expecting the return of:
• Adam (Connor Swindells)
• Jackson (Kedar Williams-Stirling) and Cal (Dua Saleh)
• Ola (Patricia Allison) and Lily (Tanya Reynolds)
• Viv (Chinenye Ezeudu)
• Isaac (George Robinson)
• Ruby (Mimi Keene) and Anwar (Chaneil Kular)
• Rahim (Sami Outalbali)
• Miss Sands (Rakhee Thakrar)
• Mr Hendricks (Jim Howick)
• Jakob (Mikael Persbrandt)
• Mr Groff (Alistair Petrie)
• Maureen (Samantha Spiro)
The Untouchables, however, will be losing another member of their clique as Simone Ashley (who plays Olivia) has already announced that she will not be returning to the show.
Ashley broke the news during an interview with This Morning's hosts, Vernon Kay and Josie Gibson.
When asked if she'd return to Sex Education, Ashley responded: "No. I get asked that all the time. No, I'm a Bridgerton girl now."
The Bridgerton newcomer made waves as feisty Kate Sharma in the show's second series.
Her tension-building love story with Jonathan Bailey's Anthony Bridgerton was just as steamy as their season-one counterparts Simon Basset (Regé-Jean Page) and Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor).
Ashley has "definitely" been confirmed for a third run of Bridgerton and is said to be excited about exploring the next chapter of Kate's life.
"She's the head of the household now, she's the Viscountess and married to Anthony and it's a year later at this point, so I'm very excited," she added.

And while nothing's been confirmed yet, we wouldn't be surprised if Ncuti Gatwa's time on Sex Education might be coming to an end soon as well. Previous Doctors tend to focus solely on this BBC venture, giving up other on screen jobs so that they can dedicate themselves fully to the part.
So while it looks like Ncuti will be in season four, Eric's role beyond that seems less certain.
"There aren't quite the words to describe how I'm feeling," Gatwa said when his new role was announced. "A mix of deeply honoured, beyond excited and of course a little bit scared.
"This role and show means so much to so many around the world, including myself, and each one of my incredibly talented predecessors has handled that unique responsibility and privilege with the utmost care. I will endeavour my upmost to do the same.
"Russell T Davies is almost as iconic as the Doctor himself and being able to work with him is a dream come true. His writing is dynamic, exciting, incredibly intelligent and fizzing with danger. An actor's metaphorical playground.
"The entire team have been so welcoming and truly give their hearts to the show. And so as much as it's daunting, I'm aware I'm joining a really supportive family. Unlike the Doctor, I may only have one heart but I am giving it all to this show."

Sex Education co-star Asa Butterfield immediately responded to the news on Twitter, saying: "Incredible, the most deserving man out there. Wowowowowow!!"
And speaking of casting news, Edward Bluemel, who played Sean, brother to Maeve, has also hinted that he might return to the fold one day.
"I have to wait and see really," he told the Radio Times in January 2021. "It's 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."
There's also the possibility of Maeve's mum Erin, played by Anne-Marie Duff, and Jackson's mum Sofia, played by Hannah Waddingham, popping up again.
But it feels like we've seen the last of Girls ' Jemima Kirke, who joined the cast in season three as Headmistress Hope. Her plan to overhaul Moordale crashed and burned in such spectacular style that we doubt she'd want to set foot near any of those meddling kids ever again.
And there's one other character that we couldn't possibly forget: Goat.

"How the day was going to go was all dependent on her," Wood told Digital Spy. "Because honestly, I had no control over that goat. And I didn't want to. I wanted her to lead the way."
As well as this, casting is now underway for new additions. In particular, there will be two new trans characters joining the fold.
Abbi and Kent have been referred to in the casting call as a "power couple", with Abbi having a "90s Winona Ryder vibe".
Kicked out from her ultra-religious and conservative family, she lives with Kent and his parents.
Her bio reads: "Abbi is the leader of her group and the queen bee of her college. She's sunny, magnetic, generous and loyal."
Kent is trans-masculine and comes from an accepting home, but isn't as confident with his position as a popular kid at his college.
He is "goofy, forgetful, and a great listener", and has been with Abbi for a while – with the entire school adoring their "couple goals" nature.
We can't wait to meet them!
Sex Education season 4 plot and spoilers: What will happen?
Sex Education threw a metaphorical life bomb at the students at the end of season three with the announcement that Moordale High will be closing.
After becoming internet sensations for their open and frank discussions about sex (and the several plays and films they created that proved a little raunchy for parents' taste) the school board has decided to close the place down.
That's forcing ALL our teen characters to scatter and find a new school to complete their education away from each other.
When discussing season for during an interview with Variety, Wood said:
"I know basically nothing about season four. Our school is gone, so I'm confused about what's happening there.
"I know a few little things about my character, but I really don't know much.
"I hope they're going to continue to flourish because I felt like they were growing up in season three. It will be interesting to see them outside of the school more and in their own lives."
We don't know either but it's fun to speculate.
As a result of the school closure, more than ever relationships and friendships will be tested to their limit… unless they band together to try and save Moordale before it's too late.
Maeve and Otis are still very much in 'will they/won't they?' territory, after a kiss in France finally had them reveal their feelings for each other. But now that Otis has become closer to Ruby, is it a case of it being a missed opportunity that will never quite materialise?
Just when it looked like the duo were finally going to give it a go, Maeve decided to head off to the US to make her "disgustingly big brain even bigger", which leaves their relationship hanging in the balance once again.
"Everything flows, nothing stands still," said Heraclitus back in ye old days of yore, and there's every chance that Maeve and Otis might never be on the same page. Only time will tell.
Eric and Adam have officially split after realising that, sadly, they're not on the same page when it comes to their sexuality. In an emotional scene, the proudly out Eric told Adam: "I just feel like I'm ready to fly and you're just learning to walk."
Season three's central theme was undoubtedly people doing what's right for them – prioritising their own mental health, and learning to understand and truly love and accept themselves. Self-love guys, it's the most important relationship there is.

At least Adam has patched things up with his family, and he's just at the beginning of his journey as an out gay man. He's also discovered a love of dog training, which could definitely play out in the upcoming episodes.
Aimee is still dealing with the after-effects of a sexual assault on a bus back in season two, and again this has led her to break things off with her boyfriend, and seek therapy with Jean. It's allowing her to come into her own without having a man around as necessary back up.

"Aimee's had all these voices around her, talking about what she's been through, and telling her what she's been through," Wood told Digital Spy. "Everyone's trying to help, but it's not until that moment in therapy... She's fallen out with Maeve, her one best friend. She's been told, 'You should break up with Steve.'
"She's never been without a boyfriend. Everything that she's afraid of, comes true. And actually, she realises, 'Oh my God, I'm okay. Even though all these really terrifying things have happened, I'm still here, and I'm still okay.'"
But the biggest bombshell we need to be dealing with comes not from the teens, but the adults, with Jean nearly dying giving birth at the end of season three.
Jean's unexpected pregnancy allowed her to grow closer to the presumed baby daddy, Jakob (Ola's father). But in the final seconds of the finale, as she recovered in hospital, she found out the DNA results and… in the words of Jerry Springer: "Jakob… you are NOT the father!"
But now Jean has a decision to make. Does she continue to lie to her other half to maintain this happy life? Or does she come clean? Either way, this is not going to end well, we can be sure of that.
