Sex Education, the hit high-school dramedy starring Gillian Anderson and Asa Butterfield, has been renewed by Netflix.
The series quickly gained a fanbase after debuting on Netflix in January, offering an honest depiction of the sex lives and sexual identities of teenagers. Butterfield stars as Otis, a shy 16-year-old whose mother (Anderson) is a sex therapist. Otis teams up with fellow outcast Maeve (Emma Mackey) to apply his knowledge to their classmates’ problems, and make some money. The series also offers authentic friendships and looks deeper into the relationships between teenagers and their parents. It hit a sweet spot with teens and older viewers.
Sex Education season 2 was announced in February and is set to include eight episodes. Here’s what we know so far.
