#Sex Education: Netflix Sets Premiere Date for Delayed Season 3!

It’s been a long wait, but Sex Education Season 3 finally has a premiere date!

Netflix on Thursday announced the new season will bow September 17 and will consist of eight episodes, in line with the previous two seasons.

“It’s a new year, Otis is having casual sex, Eric and Adam are official, and Jean has a baby on the way,” reads the official description.

“Meanwhile, new headteacher Hope (played by Jemima Kirke) tries to return Moordale to a pillar of excellence, Aimee discovers feminism, Jackson gets a crush and a lost voicemail still looms.”

“Prepare for commitment animals, alien phenomena, vulva cupcakes and much more of Madam Groff.”

Other new cast members include Jason Isaacs playing Peter Groff, Mr. Groff’s more successful and not very modest older brother, recording artist and songwriter, Dua Saleh, who joins in their acting debut, playing Cal, a nonbinary student at Moordale. 

Indra Ové is also on board as Elsie’s foster mum Anna.

Netflix also shared some photos that show the new and returning cast members as they move on to new chapters in life.
