While it may be the fourth and final instalment of the beloved show, it will see the return of many of the show's favourites including Otis (Asa Butterfield), Eric (Ncuti Gatwa) and Maeve (Emma Mackey), who is studying abroad in this upcoming season.

New characters joining the series include Schitt's Creek's Dan Levy, Doctor Who's Thaddea Graham and many other exciting additions.

The final season will see Otis and Eric faced with a new future at Cavendish Sixth Form College after the closure of Moordale Secondary, and it's safe to say that it'll take some getting used to.

As well as new challenges for all students, Otis will also have to grapple with life as an older brother, being the 'other sex therapist' and navigating a long distance relationship with Maeve.

The new series consists of eight episodes, with the synopses for each episode being revealed in censored spoilers by Netflix ahead of the release.

While fans have a lot to look forward to in the new season, it's bittersweet, as Sex Education will draw to a close with season 4.

Speaking about the decision to end the series, creator Laurie Nunn said: “During that process, it just started to feel very clear that the stories were coming to an end, the characters were being left in a place that I felt really good about it. I felt happy for them, and I felt like I’ve said everything that I want to say with these characters at this time.”

Sex Education season 4 arrives on Netflix on 21st September. Seasons 1-3 are streaming now. Check out our lists of the best series on Netflix – or see what else is on with our TV Guide. Visit our Drama hub for all the latest news.
