Inside all the fun Instagram accounts of the Sex Education cast members

Best believe you’ll be following them all


Sex Education is back, and boy have we missed our favourite Netflix cast. We love every single one of their diverse, weird and wonderful characters in the show, as well as the fact that the actors are all besties in real life too. Just a quick look on the Instagram profiles of the Sex Education cast members shows how fun they all are, and the real life love they have for one another.

Seriously, I want to hang out with Emma Mackey and Aimee Lou Wood, have a vibes filled brunch with Mimi Keene, spend the day in London with Ncuti Gatwa and top it all off with a red carpet event with Gillian Anderson. How do I go about this, please?

Here is a sneak peek at the Instagram accounts of all the Sex Education cast, and what they’re all like in real life. Warning: Prepare to be envious of how fun all their lives look.

Asa Butterfield has the second most Instagram followers out of all the cast of Sex Education, with a huge 4.6million. That’s not a massive surprise though, given he’s not only the Sex Education lead, but is a hugely successful actor with his first major role being in The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas. Asa is a big fan of a casual selfie, and just looks like he has an all round good time. If you want pictures of him lying on the sofa, brushing his teeth or cuddling his cat – get following.

Emma Mackey

Emma Mackey, who plays Maeve, has loads of Instagram followers and is the most followed cast member – with an enviable 5.2million.  She was born as Emma Margaret Tachard-Mackey and is French – Emma was born in Le Mans in 1996. Emma doesn’t post much on her account, and when she does it’s usually from photoshoots or work projects. Naturally there are a few pictures with the rest of the cast, given that they’re all besties in real life too.
