There isn’t yet any confirmation about who will be in the cast of Sex Education series 3, but the cast between series one and two remained the same with a few new additions, so we know the original characters Otis, Maeve, Eric and Jean – played by Asa Butterfield, Emma Mackey, Ncuti Gatwa, and Gillian Anderson respectively – will return for season three.

Aimee (Aimee Lou Wood), Jackson (Kedar Williams-Stirling), and Adam (Connor Swindells) will also likely return after having a key role since the start of the show.

How did Season 2 of Sex Education end?

Ending on an embarrassing low for Otis, season two saw the star of the show make a cringe-worthy speech at a party where he slated both ex-girlfriend Ola (Patricia Allison) and close friend Maeve, before drunkenly sleeping with and losing his virginity to Ruby – which he doesn’t remember the full antics of the next day.

Otis later rings Maeve to apologise, leaving a heartfelt voicemail which is then deleted by her new pal Isaac.

Meanwhile, Eric and Adam finally make their feelings about one another official by starting a relationship.

Otis’ mother Jean also finds out she’s pregnant with Jakob’s baby – after dumping him for her ex husband.
