It’s been close to a year since we’ve heard anything about the second season of Netflix’s Sex Education, the most charming series about British teens who run an underground sex clinic. For those of you who inexplicably haven’t watched yet, Sex Education stars Asa Butterfield as Otis, a repressed virgin, who pairs up with the misunderstood Maeve (Emma Mackey) to dole out sex advice to confused students based on everything he’s learned from his sex therapist mother, portrayed by the brilliant Gillian Anderson. Go watch and come back later. The internet cannot get over the quirky British comedy for so many reasons. First, it’s a terrific exploration into the awkwardness of sex at all stages and it tackles subjects relating to LGBTQ+ teens, consent, toxic masculinity, and more with humor and touching empathy.

(TBH, it’s my vagina.) So, what about season 2?! Good news: Netflix announced a second round back on February 1. “The reception to season 1 has been so exciting. Seeing how people across the world have connected to characters that began as ideas in my head is incredible,” series creator Laurie Nunn said in a press release. “I’m hugely grateful to every person that has taken the time to watch the series, and I can’t wait to continue this amazing journey.” Here’s everything we know so far: When will season 2 air? No official date yet, but we do know we will be getting eight new episodes in 2020. Who will be returning? Pretty much the whole crew. Gillian, Asa, Emma, Ncuti Gatwa, Aimee-Lou Wood, Connor Swindells, Kedar Williams-Stirling, Tanya Reynolds, and Patricia Allison are set to return. You know what that means? Justice for Maeve. Pushing my luck: Is there a trailer? So, no real new footage yet, but here’s this awesome nod to Mean Girls the cast filmed to announce the new season: This content is imported from YouTube.

Here’s what Netflix just released about season 2 (including pics): “As a late bloomer, Otis must master his newly discovered sexual urges in order to progress with his girlfriend Ola whilst also dealing with his now strained relationship with Maeve. Meanwhile, Moordale Secondary is in the throes of a chlamydia outbreak, highlighting the need for better sex education at the school, and new kids come to town who will challenge the status quo.” But wait! There’s more: “Maeve and Aimee’s (Aimee-Lou Wood) BFF relationship is stronger than ever since Aimee ditched The Untouchables.” Netflix “Eric (Ncuti Gatwa) notices his newfound self-confidence attracting unfamiliar kinds of attention.” Netflix “Jean and Jakob’s (Mikael Persbrandt) relationship is discovered and they have to learn how to operate as a blended family.” Netflix “Adam (Connor Swindells) is at military school, still conflicted by his feelings for Eric.” Netflix “Lily (Tanya Reynolds) has hit pause on her sexual endeavors to focus on her creative talents and finds a newfound friend in Ola (Patricia Allison).” Netflix “Jackson (Kedar Willaims-Stirling) is forced to flex his mental rather than physical muscle and is still buckling under the pressure from his parents to succeed.” Netflix This content is imported from {embed-name}.

Sex Education concluded on a satisfying mix of unexpected twists and intriguing jump-off points for a potential season two. While the central ‘will they, won’t they’ dynamic is mostly geared around Otis (Asa Butterfield) and Maeve (Emma Mackey), there’s also the hanging relationship between the latter and Jackson (Kedar Williams-Stirling) who were in a romance throughout the first season. Jackson, however, was left heartbroken when Maeve admitted she didn’t love him, leaving the pair’s relationship in tatters as she faces being expelled from the school. Maeve was torn between Jackson and Otis throughout season one (Picture: Netflix) But will this be the end between Jackson and Maeve? Jackson’s failed attempt to keep Maeve in the school by bribing Headmaster Groff show he still cares for her – so could his feelings persist, and become his downfall, in an unconfirmed second season? Speaking to Metro.co.uk about the possibility, Kedar said: ‘I think [Jackson] gets the idea. I don’t think he’s going to keep persisting. I think he understands she doesn’t really want him. ‘I think he has her best interests at heart, but I wouldn’t say he’s going to start, “Please get back with me, please get back with me.” I think he’s a good guy and just cares about her a lot. ‘He’s quite an interesting character. I think he’s got to come into his own [in season two]. I think a lot of his story has been told through other people.’ Weighing-in on the topic of Jackson, Aimee Lou-Wood, who plays Aimee Gibbs, added: ‘He’s got to have some self-respect in the second because he’s actually really selfless. ‘He allows his mum to live vicariously through him, he tries so hard to make Maeve happy and he doesn’t know what he wants. That’d be amazing to see in season two if he just starts to connect with who he really is and look after himself. Jackson has an unclear future if season two goes ahead (Picture: Netflix) ‘I just want him to look after himself because he deserves it.’ Netflix has yet to confirm the existence of a second season for the show, which also stars Asa Butterfield, Gillian Anderson, Emma Mackey and Connor Swindells.

There is no question that Sex Education is one of the standout shows of the year so far. Ever since it came out on Netflix earlier this month, the TV series has received critical acclaim from fans and critics alike. Not only does the new series take on important issues in hilarious and sensitive ways but it also has an amazing cast and some of the most loveable characters on screen right now. 35 hilarious Sex Education memes that prove the Netflix series is better than sex From awkward king Otis (Asa Butterfield) to feminist queen Maeve (Emma Mackey), it's impossible not to find someone to obsess over in Sex Education. However, no character is more popular than Otis' best friend Eric (Ncuti Gatwa). As well as stealing every scene, Eric gets his own moving, coming of age arc. What's next for Eric though and why are fans split over the Adam twist? SEX EDUCATION SEASON 1 SPOILERS BELOW Eric (Ncuti Gatwa) and Adam (Connor Swindell) in Sex Education on Netflix. Picture: Netflix Throughout all of season 1, Eric was bullied by the headmaster's son Adam (Connor Swindell). However, this all changed in the final episode of the season when they were put in detention together. They kissed and Adam gave Eric a blowjob. Then later in Biology class they intimately grazed hands before Adam's father sent him to military school seemingly ending their love story. Fans were divided over Eric's shock love interest. While Adam's character was well-developed, and there were many signs that he may be attracted to Eric, the trope of seeing someone who is abused fall in love with their abuser can be triggering for those who've been bullied. Some fans loved the twist but others thought that Eric deserved a love interest who hasn't hurt him. Here are just a few of the reactions. I'm not a fan of the bullied x bully romance trope but Adam and Eric own my ass #sexeducation pic.twitter.com/qHTaworStq — jay | the queen we chose (@chaoticxbliss) January 13, 2019 eric deserved better than adam idk why ur all losin ur shit over them adam terrorized eric every day. I hate the trope of a bully being homophobic because he’s secretly gay, #SexEducation — Enricoh Alfonzo🐺~ 3D (@Alfonzowords) January 15, 2019 i love eric and adam in #SexEducation but it is a stereotypical bully-turns-out-to-be-gay-himself but adam is such a sweetie & his problems are so well explained & they’re so HOT together?! plus representations of stereotypes are still representation bc they’re based on truth — shelly elly✨ (@shellybhg) January 14, 2019 It's not Adam and Eve, It's Adam And Eric. pic.twitter.com/r4KHDhYVYo — kulina🌵 (@ampwn98) January 14, 2019 Speaking to Thrillist about Adam and Eric's relationship in the show, Sex Education's creator Laurie Nunn said: "I think if you rewatch the series we very much were telling a love story through bullying with Eric and Adam. Even though in some ways in episode eight it feels like a twist it really is there throughout every episode, the feeling that they have with each other and how kind of confused that is." Laurie then added: "Adam is just desperate for connection ... The fact that he bullies people and in particular Eric is his way of looking for intimacy in the world. It will be interesting to see where that takes him now that he's developed a new part of himself after episode eight. It's very sad and it's definitely a cliffhanger in terms what might happen in the future between those two characters." Okay. That does makes sense ... kind of... but it is still easy to see why people find the Adam and Eric storyline problematic. Particularly, seeing as Adam hasn't even apologised to Eric. Still for the Adam and Eric shippers out there, that does sound like we could be getting more Eram content in season 2. Although we could also be getting a completely new love interest for Eric. In an interview with Paper, Ncuti Gatwa seemed to hint that Eric could have a new man in his future: "I'd be quite exited for Eric to find love, because he's got a lot of love to give, and it would be quite nice for it to be returned." Amazing. What do you think? Are Eric and Adam problematic and would you like to see Eric get a new man in season 2?<doc-sep>
Sex Education: Asa Butterfield stars in Netflix series Sex Education took Netflix by storm as Otis Milburn (played by Asa Butterfield) and his sex and relationship therapist mother Jean Milburn (Gillian Anderson) repaired the community’s problems. While some problems were easier to fix than others, Otis’s effects were felt throughout his school and he still has a lot of work to do in a second season. However Otis’s advice was not always benevolent, as he did give some bad advice to Jackson (Kedar Williams-Stirling) during his relationship with Maeve (Emma Mackey). Express.co.uk caught up with Kedar, as well as Aimee Lou Wood, who played Aimee, and Connor Swindells, who played Adam, where they revealed what they want their characters to get up to in a second season. SEX EDUCATION REVIEW But it isn’t all set in stone yet, as Kedar confessed: “I have no clue. I would love him to be a bit more independent - but then at the same time I think he’s still growing.” Cedar went on to say Jackson is “coming to terms” with the fact he can be an independent person as well. Meanwhile, Aimee explained things looked great for Aimee at the end of the season. She said: “I think, like, it’s so true - everyone else is in the s**t by the end of the series, apart from Aimee. “She’s got top-heavy Steve, she’s in love, she ditched the b***hes for Maeve…” Aimee went on to suggest what viewers could see her character doing in a second season, as she added: “It would be nice to see more of [Aimee and Maeve] together. Sex Education season 2: Aimee and Adam could return with new problems next season Sex Education season 2: Jackson actor Kedar isn't sure about his character's next step “Because they just bring out the truth in each other.” Adam may have had the most emotional story in the show as he struggled with his sexuality and his relationship with his father. Adam actor Connor confessed: “I think that my main fear was whether people would feel that way - which obviously is what i was really trying to go for. “And I hope people could see the vulnerability. And if a season two does come around his story is going to get a lot worse. “He’s going to go to a very bad place before it gets better.” In the final scenes of Sex Education, Adam was sent to a local military school to regulate his misbehaviour. Sex Education season 2: Aimee is better off going in to next season Sex Education season 2: Adam had a tough time in season 1 - and it is going to get worse
