Netflix has renewed the critically acclaimed high school dramedy for a third season. The news was announced by the streamer via a video on its U.K. Twitter account.
The series centers on teenager Otis Milburn (Asa Butterfield), an inexperienced, socially awkward high-school student who lives with his sex-therapist mother (Gillian Anderson). Otis is a reluctant expert on sex but comes to realize he can use his knowledge to gain status at Moordale High School, teaming up with bad-girl Maeve (Emma Mackey) to set up an underground sex-therapy clinic for fellow students.
Season 2 begins with Otis embarking on his first romantic relationship with Ola (Patricia Allison), however, a spate of uncontrollable erections, coupled with the fact that his mother is sleeping with Ola's father Jakob (Mikael Persbrandt), threatens to derail the fledgling romance.
According to Netflix, season 1 of `Sex Education` was among its most popular originals at the time, garnering 40 million member views worldwide within the first four weeks of its release.
