In the slew of amazing shows that Netflix is cooking up for 2019, is the much-awaited British comedy-drama 'Sex Education', set for release on January 11. Starring Gillian Anderson, Asa Butterfield and Alistair Petrie, it promises to be a show worth our while. According to Petrie, the show is going to be "funny, filthy and moving", and will have characters "you will rapidly care hugely about and root for played by a cast of some of the best new talent on the planet." He further adds, "We’re lucky we nabbed them before they all get snapped up by Hollywood with Gillian Anderson and me standing, waving them goodbye at Heathrow like proud parents."
