Netflix has announced the start date of the third season of Sex Education, along with some tantalizing new images.
In a post made on its official Twitter account on Thursday, June 24, the streaming service tweeted four pictures from the third season, which is due to make its premiere on September 17, 2021.
The images show our protagonist Otis, along with several other members of the cast, such as Eric Effiong, Adam Groff, and Maeve, wearing their smart new school uniforms.
Back in September, Netflix announced some new members of the cast in the upcoming installment of the high school drama, including Harry Potter and Death of Stalin alum Jason Isaacs - who will play Mr. Groff's more successful older brother.
Other additions to the show include Dua Sala as a character named Cal, and Jemima Kirke as new headmistress Hope,
Speaking in a recent interview with The Guardian, star Asa Butterfield commented on the development of his character by stating:
Take a look at this special announcement teaser in the video below:"There's a bit of a time-jump since the season two cliffhanger. Otis is back at school but he’s got different things on his plate.
"He's grown up a bit and become slightly more sassy. It’s been fun to portray his newfound charisma. Don’t worry, though, he’s still tragically awkward too."
Touching on the subject of Otis and Maeve's relationship, Butterfield stated: "People get quite cross when we tease them and stretch it out. Their relationship continues to develop in season three.
"We also explore why Otis was running his sex therapy clinic in the first place. Was it just to be close to Maeve or does he get fulfillment from helping people?"
Meanwhile, Eric's actor Ncuti Gatwa also discussed Eric's development in the season to come, stating in an interview with Digital Spy: "Eric returns back to his culture a lot more.
"I think those scenes were very special, just having a set where the majority of people were Black. And it was really great and really powerful and represented Eric’s culture and his family. Those are always quite profound moments."
