The much-anticipated third series of award-winning hit comedy drama Sex Education will launch on Netflix in the UK on 17th September 2021.
The plot is described as follows: "It's a new year, Otis is having casual sex, Eric and Adam are official, and Jean has a baby on the way. Meanwhile, new headteacher Hope tries to return Moordale to a pillar of excellence, Aimee discovers feminism, Jackson gets a crush and a lost voicemail still looms. Prepare for commitment animals, alien phenomena, vulva cupcakes and much more of Madam Groff."
Jemima Kirke will play the new headteacher. Other new cast include Jason Isaacs playing Peter Groff, Mr Groff's more successful and not very modest older brother; recording artist and songwriter Dua Saleh who joins in their acting debut, playing Cal, a nonbinary student at Moordale; and Indra Ové who plays Elsie's foster mum Anna.
