The Netflix hit series Sex Education is about to be back with its fourth and final season on September 21, 2023. The trailer for the fourth season has dropped, which features fan favorites Otis Milburn, Eric Effiong, Aimee Gibbs, Jackson Marchetti, Adam Groff, Ruby Matthews, and of course, Maeve Wiley. Fans and followers of the show will also get a quick look at Dan Levy's character, Thomas Molloy, as revealed in August 2022.
Sex Education has always been one of the most successful shows on the streaming platform and has taken it by storm since its pilot in 2019. The storyline so far has been well summarised by Rotten Tomatoes as,
"Socially awkward high school student Otis may not have much experience in the lovemaking department, but he gets good guidance on the topic in his personal sex ed course -- living with mom Jean, who is a sex therapist. Being surrounded by manuals, videos and tediously open conversations about sex, Otis has become a reluctant expert on the subject."
It continues,
"When his classmates learn about his home life, Otis decides to use his insider knowledge to improve his status at school, so he teams up with whip-smart bad girl Maeve to set up an underground sex therapy clinic to deal with their classmates' problems. But through his analysis of teenage sexuality, Otis realizes that he may need some therapy of his own."
With its refreshing approach to teenage sexuality, the show's fourth season will showcase how the Moordale gang transitions from post-pubescent teenagers to adolescents approaching adulthood sexually and in life.
The filming for Sex Education Season 4 already wrapped up in February 2023, according to POPSUGAR.
