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

Great news, Sex Education fans: Ncuti Gatwa will reprise his role as Eric Effiong in the hit Netflix shows upcoming fourth season.

As first reported by Variety , some shrewd scheduling has ensured that Gatwa who was recently cast as the next Doctor Who is able to return to the hormone-laden halls of Moordale for Sex Education season 4 , which recently began shooting.

The news follows a worrying bout of departures from the Netflix series , with Rakhee Thakrar (Miss Sands), Simone Ashley (Olivia), Tanya Reynolds (Lily)
and Patricia Allison (Ola) among those who have confirmed that they won't be reprising their respective roles in the shows forthcoming season.

Gatwas Eric, though, will be returning for more high school hijinks, which should buoy the spirits of Sex Education fans worried that the show may have lost its sparkle.

Best friend to series lead Otis (Asa Butterfield) and love interest to Connor Swindells Adam, Eric has developed into arguably the series most important character, regularly driving the narrative forward while delivering emotion and humor in equal measure.

Spoilers for Sex Education seasons 1-3 follow.

Erics involvement seems crucial to the plot of Sex Education season 4, too.
He and Adam decided to go their separate ways at the end of the series third season, with the formers kissing another man in Nigeria serving as the nail
in the coffin for a relationship which always seemed oddly balanced, given Adams ongoing journey to understanding his own sexuality.

But we also saw Adam growing closer to Erics ex, Rahim, in season 3s later episodes, hinting at a potential romance between the pair that once seemed impossible. Naturally, both plot threads involve Eric, and its hard to see
how Sex Educations producers would have tackled said threads had Gatwa been unable to participate in new episodes.

Theres been no official word just yet on when Sex Education season 4 will arrive on Netflix, though we do know (thanks to a recent production listing ) that filming kicked off on July 4, 2022. As such, we don't expect the show's fourth season to arrive any time this year. Our best guess for the new run's release is the first half of 2023, especially since Sex Educations first and second seasons were both launched in January.
