Very happy this is back as it was a great show.
Hollywood, CA — February 1, 2019 — This January, viewers across the globe
fell in love with Sex Education and the students of Moordale High School,
with the series tracking to be a huge hit (estimated over 40 million
households watching the title within the first 4 weeks). Following high fan
demand for a second season, Netflix announced that the series has been
renewed for 8 new episodes of the frank, heartfelt, honest and hilariously
awkward series.
Season two is slated to begin production this spring in the UK. Gillian
Anderson, Asa Butterfield, Emma Mackey, Ncuti Gatwa, Aimee-Lou Wood, Connor
Swindells, Kedar Williams-Stirling, Tanya Reynolds, Patricia Allison and
Alistair Petrie are set to reprise their roles. Creator Laurie Nunn will
return as creator and executive producer with Jamie Campbell set to
executive produce alongside Nunn. Eleven will continue as the production
company for the second season of the breakout series.
The first season garnered critical and popular acclaim and has opened up
poignant cultural conversations around sexuality, relationships and
identity. The series has been lauded for delivering a coming-of-age story
with a fresh, feminist heart, and for presenting intersectional and
multidimensional characters that audiences have fallen in love with.
About the recommission, series creator Laurie Nunn said, “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. 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,” said Cindy Holland, Vice President of
Original Content, Netflix. “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.”
Sex Education season one was created and written by Laurie Nunn and
executive-produced by Jamie Campbell and Ben Taylor, and co-executive
produced by Sian Robins-Grace. Taylor also served as a director on season
one along with Kate Herron. The series is a production of Eleven.
