Netflix’s Sex Education has been officially renewed for a second season.
The show – which has been praised for its frank, heartfelt, honest and hilariously awkward scenes – has gained critical and popular acclaim since it premiered earlier this year.
It has been praised for delivering a coming-of-age story with a fresh, feminist heart, and for presenting intersectional and multidimensional characters that audiences have fallen in love with.
Now, Sex Education has been renewed for an eight-episode season two – and is slated to begin production this spring in the UK.
Gillian Anderson, Asa Butterfield, Emma Mackey, Ncuti Gatwa, Aimee-Lou Wood, Connor Swindells, Kedar Williams-Stirling, Tanya Reynolds, Patricia Allison and Alistair Petrie are set to reprise their roles.
Creator Laurie Nunn will return as creator and executive producer with Jamie Campbell set to executive produce alongside Nunn.
Eleven will continue as the production company for the second season of the breakout series.
On the renewal, the series creator, Laurie Nunn, said:
“The reception to series one has been so exciting. Seeing how people across the world have connected to characters that began as ideas in my head is incredible.
“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.”
Cindy Holland, the Vice President of Original Content at Netflix, added:
“Laurie Nunn has captured the awkward teenage experience with a lot of heart and humour in Sex Education.
“Along with the Eleven team and executive producer and director Ben Taylor, she’s created a universally relatable series that has resonated with our members around the world.”
Sex Education season one was created and written by Laurie Nunn.
It was executive-produced by Jamie Campbell and Ben Taylor, and co-executive produced by Sian Robins-Grace.
Taylor also served as a director on season one along with Kate Herron.
