Sex Education Season 3 production gets delayed
Following another successful season debut last January, Netflix’s hit British teen comedy series Sex Education was immediately renewed for a third season and was supposed to start its filming this May. However, like other TV productions around the world, Deadline confirms that the third season’s production has officially been delayed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the UK’s strict social distancing policies that will be extended for another three weeks.
According to the outlet, Netflix’s Sex Education is not the only one that will be affected as other shows such as HBO’s Olivia Colman-led miniseries Landscapers and Starz’s Outlander Season 6 are also set to begin their filming in the coming weeks.

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.
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 in season two. Creator Laurie Nunn will also 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.

Meet Otis Milburn — a socially awkward high school virgin who lives with his mother, a sex therapist. Surrounded by manuals, videos and tediously open conversations about sex, Otis is a reluctant expert on the subject. When his home life is revealed at school, Otis realizes that he can use his specialist knowledge to gain status. He teams up with Maeve, a whip-smart bad-girl, and together they set up an underground sex therapy clinic to deal with their fellow students’ weird and wonderful problems. Through his analysis of teenage sexuality, Otis realizes he may need some therapy of his own.
Sex Education Season 1 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.
