The cast is a big part of why people love Sex Education. The show started with a simple but funny premise: Otis (Asa Butterfield), son of sex therapist Jean (Gillian Anderson), starts a sex-therapy clinic in his school \u2013 with humorous results. Over time, though, the show has expanded its character lineup, and showed its ability to deal with its subject in a careful and meaningful way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sex Education season 3 was confirmed by Netflix all the way back in February 2020 \u2013 but the pandemic has been a factor in slowing the show\u2019s return. The series started filming again in September 2020, however, which paves the way for a release date at some point in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s what we know about Sex Education season 3 so far, including its cast, the show\u2019s likely return date and all the teasers we\u2019ve seen for the new episodes so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We expect the Sex Education season 3 release date to be this summer, at some point. The show did start filming but, like many others, it had to be postponed due to the coronavirus. But as time was running out on filming in 2020, as the show needs to be shot in the longer days of the British summer, an important decision was made by Netflix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To prevent a potentially huge delay, filming resumed in September 2020, with an expected completion window in February. All non-UK members of the cast had to be in the county from August 23 to undergo a 14-day quarantine period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For a behind-the-scenes sneak peek of the filming process, take a look at the on-set photos of Ncuti Gatwa (Eric), Patricia Allison (Ola), and other cast members below. These pictures also offer a glimpse behind the scenes of filming the show, and even show off potential hints for things happening in the new season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n YOUR FIRST LOOK AT LIFE ON THE SET OF SEX EDUCATION S3 \ud83d\udc40\ud83d\udcf7 BY TANYA LOU REYNOLDS (AKA LILY).

Much like season 2\u2019s initial reveal trailer, which featured Gillian Anderson delivering a sultry monologue about the benefits of sex ed, the season 3 teaser is playfully narrated by Alistair Petrie\u2019s Principal Groff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We see the taciturn principal walking the halls of Moordale High, passing portraits of Sex Education\u2019s main cast as he notes what the future could possibly hold for each of them. The teaser wraps up with an invitation to find out more in the Sex Education season 3, but stops short of a proper release date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SEX EDUCATION S3 CAST NEWS:~@JEMIMAKIRKE IS JOINING AS MOORDALE\u2019S NEW HEADMISTRESS \u2018HOPE\u2019~DUA SALEH (@DOITLIKEDUA) IS PLAYING \u2018CAL\u2019, A STUDENT WHO CLASHES WITH HOPE~JASON ISAACS (@JASONSFOLLY) IS PLAYING \u2018PETER GROFF\u2019, MR GROFF\u2019S MORE SUCCESSFUL\/LESS MODEST OLDER BROTHER PIC.TWITTER.COM\/ZKFGCM9HJESEPTEMBER 24, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n See more<\/p>\n\n\n\n While a full cast list for season three is yet to be confirmed, Netflix announced some exciting new names to the Sex Education season 3 cast in September. Jason Isaac\u2019s Peter Groff should prove an excellent foil to his headteacher brother, with recording artist Dua Saleh as a returning student who clashes with the new headmistress, Hope, played by Jemima Kirke (Girls, Tiny Furniture).<\/p>\n\n\n\n We also feel pretty confident in assuming the characters featured in the teaser video are returning. Series headliners Asa Butterfield (Otis Milburn) and Gillian Anderson (Dr Jean Milburn) are featured, along with a sizeable chunk of the supporting cast including Emma Mackey (Maeve Wiley), Ncuti Gatwa (Eric Effiong), Connor Swindells (Adam Groff) and Patricia Allison (Ola Nyman). Given how heavily season 2 leaned into an ensemble narrative approach, it would be difficult to imagine the show returning without the bulk of the cast reprising their roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Series creator and writer Laurie Nunn was already hard at work on the script for a third season well before Netflix renewed the show. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In an interview with LADbible<\/u><\/a>, Nunn touches on the tight working schedule for the series, noting that the writing process of another season before confirmed renewal is a normal part of how TV production works. When asked about the potential for future stories, Nunn said, \u201cI love writing these characters. It\u2019s such a big ensemble and I think the theme of the show \u2013 in terms of it being about sex and relationships \u2013 it really just offers up endless story opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sex Education season 2 pivoted away from its focus on Otis and instead opted to lend almost equal time to the wonderfully diverse characters around him. The internet\u2019s newest queer icon Eric (Gatwa) benefited the most from this shift in show structure, allowing for a nuanced and moving insight into the struggles of a young black queer man. His popularity clearly hasn\u2019t gone without notice, as the teaser video for the third season is largely focused on the potential of his blooming romance with his former bully Adam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While remaining tight-lipped on the Sex Education season 3 story, Butterfield said to Digital Spy<\/a> that he\u2019s \u201creally happy\u201d with the first episode and that \u201cit didn\u2019t go where I anticipated it to. He added: \u201cA few things have changed. I\u2019m excited.\u201d We\u2019re also firmly with him when he says \u201cI want more of Otis and Maeve.\u201d The will-they-won\u2019t-they relationship was frustratingly left Otis leaving a drunk love message on Maeve\u2019s answerphone, just as she seems to be falling for neighbour, Isaac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sex Education season 3 is still expected to arrive on Netflix at some point in 2021. As one of the best Netflix shows<\/a> yet, this sensitive comedy has captured the imaginations of viewers \u2013 and we can\u2019t wait to see more of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSex Education season 3 release date predictions: this year?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
