Get ready for some more Sex Education!
The streaming giant has renewed the British coming-of-age dramedy for another season and fans everywhere are ecstatic!
The series, starring Asa Butterfield and Gillian Anderson, will return for an eight-episode second season. The first, critically acclaimed season was watched by an estimated 40 million households within four weeks of its debut, according to E! Online.
“The reception to season one has been so exciting. Seeing how people across the world have connected to characters that began as ideas in my head is incredible,” creator Laurie Dunn said in a statement. “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.”
“Laurie Nunn has captured the awkward teenage experience with a lot of heart and humor in Sex Education,” Cindy Holland, vice president of original content at Netflix, said in a statement. “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.”
Netflix announced the news with a video featuring lead character Otis Milburn (Butterfield).
