Petrie and his co-stars will return in a fourth season of Sex Education imminently. The news was announced as part of Netflix’s fan event TUDUM in September.
At the end of the show’s segment, a “breaking news” video was shown, which featured the fictional Moordale school and its logo above a scrolling banner that read: “Breaking News: Sex Education to return for season 4.”
In a three-star review of Sex Education season three, NME said: “Season four hasn’t been confirmed just yet, and these characters clearly still have a lot more to give. Adam is slowly becoming the star of the show, with Swindells’ heavily charged performance balancing sadness and courage in the face of disintegrating relationships and a search for lasting happiness.”
Meanwhile, the show’s Asa Butterfield – who plays Otis in the show – has commented on his character’s sexuality. When asked if his character would ever explore queerness on-screen, he told GQ: “I’ve never had any suggestions or gotten any leads to suggest that he’s disguised any part of him, including his sexuality.”
