“The reception to series one has been so exciting. Seeing how people across the world have connected to characters that began as ideas in my head is incredible," Nunn said in a statement. "I’m hugely grateful to every person that has taken the time to watch the series, and I can’t wait to continue this amazing journey.”
“Laurie Nunn has captured the awkward teenage experience with a lot of heart and humor in Sex Education,” said Cindy Holland, Vice President of Original Content at Netflix in a statement.
Sex Education follows Otis Milburn (Butterfield), an inexperienced, socially awkward high school student who lives with his mother (Anderson), 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 (Mackey), 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.
The first season of Sex Education is streaming now on Netflix.
