Release date and how to watch

Netflix confirmed Season 4 in the recent 'TUDUM' event. But, we have no official release date for the upcoming season. Viewers can download the Netflix app from Google Play Store and Apple’s App Store. All three seasons are currently streaming on Netflix.

Plot

"The show is about Otis Milburn, a socially awkward high school student who lives with his sex therapist mother, Jean. In season 1 Otis and his friend Maeve Wiley set up a sex clinic at school to capitalize on his intuitive talent for sex advice. In season 2, as a late bloomer, Otis must master his newly discovered sexual urges in order to progress with his girlfriend Ola whilst also dealing with his now strained relationship with Maeve. Meanwhile, Moordale Secondary is in the throes of a Chlamydia outbreak, highlighting the need for better sex education at the school and new kids come to town who will challenge the status quo."

Spoilers

Season 3 of ‘Sex Education’ ended with Jean (Gillian Anderson) giving birth to a baby girl and going unconscious after the excess loss of blood. Otis is really worried about her mother and is in the hospital with her. A few hours later, it is revealed that Jean’s surgery is successful and she is okay now.

On the other hand, Eric has broken up with Adam after he kissed someone in Nigeria. Both are feeling really upset, but this was the right thing to do. Moordale has become sex school once again as Hope resigns from her job. But it turns out that she has been hard on herself and everyone else because she wants to be pregnant but she can’t because of some issues in her body.
