Season 4 will follow Otis and Eric as they face a new frontier - their first day at Cavendish Sixth Form College, following the closure of Moordale Secondary.

Otis is nervous about setting up his new clinic, while Eric is praying they won't be losers again. Cavendish is a culture shock for all the Moordale students - they thought they were progressive but this new college is shaking.

The pupils can look forward to daily yoga in the communal garden, a push for sustainability, and becoming part of a group of kids who are popular for generally being kind and positive.

Meanwhile, Viv is taken aback by the college's student-led, non-competitive approach, while Jackson is still struggling to get over Cal. Aimee decides to take Art A-Level and Adam struggles with whether mainstream education is for him.

Sex Education also catches up with Maeve across the pond, who seems to be living her dream at prestigious Wallace University in the US, being taught by cult author Thomas Molloy (Dan Levy).

Otis is pining after her, but he has competition for attention at home, and he soon discovers that he's not the only therapist on the college grounds.

Sex Education season 4 will launch on Netflix on 21st September.
