Netflix's highly anticipated series, Sex Education, will return with its fourth season on Thursday, September 21, 2023. The series centers around a socially awkward teenager who becomes a reluctant expert on the subject of physical intimacy, thanks to his mother, who is a s*x therapist.
His classmates then decide to use his knowledge and set up a covert s*x therapy clinic. Take a look at the official synopsis of the upcoming season of the show, as per Netflix Media Center:
''Following the closure of Moordale Secondary, Otis and Eric now face a new frontier - their first day at Cavendish Sixth Form College. Otis is nervous about setting up his new clinic, whilst Eric is praying they won’t be losers again. But Cavendish is a culture shock for all the Moordale students - they thought they were progressive but this new college is another level. There’s daily yoga in the communal garden, a strong sustainability vibe and a group of kids who are popular for being… kind?!''
The description continues:
''Viv is totally thrown by the college’s student-led, non-competitive approach, while Jackson is still struggling to get over Cal. Aimee tries something new by taking an Art A-Level and Adam grapples with whether mainstream education is for him. Over in the US, Maeve is living her dream at prestigious Wallace University, being taught by cult author Thomas Molloy. Otis is pining after her, whilst adjusting to not being an only child at home, or the only therapist on campus…''
Sex Education season 4 cast is led by Asa Butterfield, who plays the role of the protagonist, along with many others playing key supporting characters. The series is helmed by Laurie Nunn.
