What will happen in Sex Education Season 4?
As announced by Netflix, Season 4 of Sex Education follows the closure of Moordale Secondary; Otis and Eric are now confronted with a new frontier – their first day at Cavendish Sixth Form College. Otis worries about establishing his new clinic, while Eric hopes they won’t be losers again. However, all of the students from Moordale are shocked when they visit Cavendish – they thought they were ahead of the curve, but this latest institution is another level altogether. There’s yoga in the communal garden every day, a strong sustainability vibe, and a group of youngsters known for being… nice?!
Viv is overwhelmed by the non-competitive, student-led atmosphere of the college, while Jackson is still coming to terms with Cal’s death. Aimee joins an Art class at her school level, and Adam wonders if regular schooling suits him. Maeve attends Wallace University in America and loves it–she even has a favorite professor, cult author Thomas Molloy. Otis misses Maeve, but he’s also adjusting to having siblings now that he’s no longer an only child at home or college.
