Hello, all you dirty, dirty pigs. If you’ve missed the antics of Otis and his crew of messy teenage pals as much as I have, good news! Season 3 of Sex Education is not far, and we have loads of insight into what to expect from the new chapter for the show.
Read on for your guide to this new instalment for the delightfully touching, yet awkward AF, series.
When and where can I find season 3 of Sex Education?
Sex Education is a Netflix series so naturally, you’ll find it nestled among the other titles on the streaming service.
Season 3 will see eight (not enough!) episodes hit screens on September 17, 2021.
What can we expect from the new season?
Netflix has shared a sweet little summary of what’s coming. So far, here’s what we have:
It’s a new year, Otis is having casual sex, Eric and Adam are official, and Jean has a baby on the way. Meanwhile, new headteacher Hope (played by Jemima Kirke) tries to return Moordale to a pillar of excellence, Aimee discovers feminism, Jackson gets a crush and a lost voicemail still looms. Prepare for commitment animals, alien phenomena, vulva cupcakes and much more of Madam Groff.
Other new cast include Jason Isaacs playing Peter Groff, Mr Groff’s more successful and not very modest older brother; recording artist and songwriter, Dua Saleh who joins in their acting debut, playing Cal, a nonbinary student at Moordale; and Indra Ové who plays Elsie’s foster mum Anna.
In addition to that, we’ve been gifted a handful of snaps from season 3 of Sex Education, showcasing some adorable moments between Adam and Eric, Otis’ first dance with facial hair and Jackson and Viv continuing to hang out (hello!). Check out some of those below.

What happened in season 2 again?
Spoilers ahead (obviously).
Otis – who has now established his reputation as Moordale High’s resident sex therapist – began experimenting with masturbation at the close of season one. Throughout season two, he is struggling to stop touching himself and is continually finding himself aroused.
Ola and Otis decide to part ways and Ola discovers she has feelings for Lily – this pairing is a little bit adorable.
Otis throws a party to prove himself, then gets ridiculously drunk and has sex with Ruby which is… unexpected. Despite all that he decides to leave Maeve a heartfelt voicemail message, but Maeve’s new pal Isaac gets in the way and deletes the message before she can listen to it (rude!).
In better news, Adam makes a sweet declaration of love to Eric and apologises for all the hurt he’s caused over the years.
And lastly, Jean (the glorious goddess herself) finds out she’s pregnant.
If you haven’t seen Sex Education yet (and aren’t deterred by all the spoilers I just gave you) you can catch up on the earlier seasons on Netflix here.
