What to Expect in Sex Education’s Final Season

Sex Education season four begins after the closure of Moordale Secondary School. Otis (Asa Butterfield) and Eric (Ncuti Gatwa) find themselves starting their first day at Cavendish Sixth Form College. Otis worries about setting up his clinic, while Eric hopes the pair won’t be outcasts again. However, Cavendish proves to be a completely different experience.

Moordale students believed their previous school was forward-thinking, but this new college takes it to another level. The students engage in daily yoga sessions in the shared garden and embrace a strong commitment to sustainability. The popular kids are known for their kindness rather than other superficial factors.
