Netflix’s Sex Education is returning for a fourth and final season with new cast members in September. See the first trailer, photos, and more.
The trailer for the final season of «Sex Education» is here. Netflix released the full trailer on Sept. 12, and soundtracked the new footage with Meatloaf’s «I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That).» In the trailer, the Moordale gang tries to settle into their new school, all while grappling with love, relationships, and sex toys. Netflix confirmed the hit series would be ending after season four back in July, when they released the season’s teaser trailer. Netflix then released first-look photos on Aug. 2, teasing the ensemble cast’s return to their high school dramedy.
Creator Laurie Nunn told Netflix’s Tudum she wasn’t certain that season four would be the last when she and the writers began crafting it, 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.»
She added, «I felt happy for them, and I felt like I’ve said everything that I want to say with these characters at this time.»
According to star Ncuti Gatwa, while ending the show was tough, it felt like it was time. «It was very hard; it was such a big show,» he told Rolling Stone UK in a July feature. «When you’re telling stories that haven’t been seen before, there’s always a battle as to how to tell them. It wasn’t always joyous. I feel like we’ve outgrown it and we’ve given everything we can to it.»
Not to worry, though, because the final installment of «Sex Education» may be its best yet, with the promise of some new faces joining the beloved show. On Aug. 19, 2022, Netflix announced that a new character named Mr. Molloy will be played by «Schitt’s Creek» star and co-creator Dan Levy, via production photos featuring Maeve (Emma Mackey) with the new teacher. But that’s not all — fans were given another casting announcement on Feb. 19: Jodie Turner-Smith stars in the final season, too.
Speaking on the 2023 BAFTAs red carpet, the actor revealed, per Variety: «You may or may not see me in a little Netflix show called ‘Sex Education.
