Today brought both good and bad news for fans of the series Sex Education. The good news: season 4 of the Netflix series received a trailer and will be available for streaming from September 21st. The bad news: it will be the final season of the series.
Speculations about this being the last season have been circulating for a while. This was prompted by several cast members already announcing their departure from the show, such as Tanya Reynolds (Lily) and Simone Ashley (Olivia).
Series creator, lead writer, and executive producer Laurie Nunn made her voice heard in a sincere letter to the fans:
“It’s been a while since you heard from us. This Autumn we’re back with season 4, coming to Netflix on September 21.
A lot has happened since our first writers room in 2007, when we spent a month in a cramped office above a sex shop talking about what it felt like to go through puberty. The painful awkwardness, first crushes and big, big feelings.
We wanted to make a show that would answer some of the questions we all used to have about love, sex, friendship, and our bodies. Something that would have helped our inner teenagers feel a little less alone. It’s been overwhelming seeing how the show has connected with people around the world, and we hope it’s made some of you feel a little less alone too.
Writing this feels bittersweet, as we’ve decided the fourth season will also be the final instalment of our show. This was not an easy decision to make, but as the themes and stories of the new eason crystallised, it became clear that this was the right time to graduate.
We are incredibly proud of Sex Education and feel indebted to our brilliant writers, cast and crew who put so much heart into making every episode. They have worked tirelessly to bring you this final season, and we can’t wait to share it with you.
Goodbyes are the worst,
But let’s celebrate all the good times we’ve had.
Laurie xo”
Hopefully, the trailer below will serve as a small consolation.
