After its climatic success with season 1, there was never any question whether Netflix would be renewing ‘Sex Education’ for another season. It may be some months off from returning but a bunch of first-look images have been released.
Season 1 followed Otis Milburn, a socially awkward high school student who lives with his sex therapist mother, Jean. Otis and his friend Maeve Wiley set-up a sex clinic at school to capitalise on his intuitive talent for sex advice.
In season 2, 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.
