FULL STORY ======================================================================

Sex Education is gearing up for its fourth (and possibly final) season on Netflix but two cast members have confirmed that they wont be returning to the halls of Moordale.

Patricia Allison, who plays Ola in the hit Netflix show , recently revealed
on Capital Xtra that she wont be joining the team for Sex Education season 4
, citing a wish to pursue some other little things.

Allisons admission follows the departure of co-star Simone Ashley, whose ongoing commitments to another Netflix series, Bridgerton , mean shes unable to reprise her role as Olivia Hanan in Sex Educations forthcoming season.

The absence of Allisons Ola, in particular, will leave a large hole in the series upcoming episodes. Ola is the daughter of Mikael Persbrandts Jakob and love interest-turned-sister figure to Asa Butterfields Otis Milburn in Sex Education, and the headstrong character remained an important feature of the shows plot throughout its first three seasons.

Olivia is something of a bit part role compared to Ola, but Ashleys departure for other TV projects hints at the possibility of a potentially precarious trend for one of Netflixs most celebrated series.

Several of Sex Educations stars have, unsusprisingly, gone on to bag Hollywood-sized movie and TV roles in light of their Netflix breakouts, and its not clear whether all of the series core members will be able to return for season 4.

Ncuti Gatwa, for instance, has been confirmed as the next Doctor Who , while Emma Mackey is currently filming alongside Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling for Greta Gerwig's highly-anticipated Barbie movie (in which Gatwa is also set to feature). The pair play Eric and Maeve, respectively, in Sex Education two characters around which much of the series story has revolved.

Asa Butterfield (Otis) and Gillian Anderson (Jean) were already established actors when Sex Education premiered on Netflix in 2019, so their involvement in Sex Education season 4 seems (on paper, at least) a little more assured but its hard to see how the show can continue in the same vein if several of its fan-favorite stars dont return for more hormone-induced hijinks. When is season 4 coming to Netflix?

In any case, Sex Education season 4 is coming to Netflix the streamer just hasnt yet confirmed when.

Production on the fourth season actually started on July 4 , as a report on industry listing site productionlist.com detailed , so don't expect it to
come at any time in 2022. Our best guess for a new run is the first half of 2023, especially as the show's first and second seasons were both launched in January. (Image credit: Netflix)

Still, we're pleased to see that Sex Education will definitely be returning, even if theres only so many years that Moordales students can remain at the fictional school before it becomes illogical for them to continue roaming the classrooms as twenty-somethings destined for university.
