The first look at Sex Education season 2 has been released

Netflix has released a Sex Education season 2 preview, and I am unbelievably excited.

Netflix announced it was in production in January, and we've been looking forward to more of the unapologetically diverse series ever since.

Everyone's favourite cast members are all returning, meaning Maeve Wiley, Otis Milburn, Eric Effiong, Ruby, Jackson Marchetti, Adam Groff, Aimee Gibbs and Lily are back for Sex Education season 2.

The pics show a bigger Sex Education season 2 preview than we've previously been treated to and hint at a few new scenes.

We don't know much about the plot yet. Laurie Nunn, Sex Education's creator told Thrillist: “I’m just totally in love with all the characters and I just want to spend more time with them. Series one is very much Otis’ journey and I think he will again, if we’re lucky enough to get a series two we will always come back to Otis.

Nunn says the great cast means there's room to explore other characters in more depth. "He’s a fantastic leading character but the fact that we’ve got this great ensemble and these amazing young actors who have also just brought so much to those characters," she said. "It just feels like they could go anywhere.”

The new series could be dropping next year, if previous Netflix patterns are anything to go by.
