Netflix’s ‘Sex Education’ Renewed for Third Season

Just a month following the release of its second season, Netflix announced the renewal of its teen comedy Sex Education for a third season. 

The British series, led by Asa Butterfield, follows teenagers navigating high school and adolescent love. Gillian Anderson also stars in the hit comedy, as Butterfiled’s character’s mother who is a famous sex therapist. 

Sex Education has been a hit for Netflix. So much so that the streamer released viewership data it usually holds extremely privately following the debut of its first season, revealing that the show had over 40 million viewers streaming.

The renewal was announced with a video featuring Alistair Petrie who plays the students’ headmaster in the show. A release date has not yet been announced.
