Oh, what was that? You wanted news about Sex Education season 2? Teasers? Spoilers? Photos? Well, it's your lucky day. Your first look at season 2, starring Asa Butterfield, Emma Mackey, Ncuti Gatwa and Gillian Anderson, has arrived and it already sounds – and looks – amazing.

Sex Education will be back with 8 brand new episodes in 2020 - the exact release date hasn't been revealed just yet.

Season 2 is set to see more of Otis (Butterfield) in his new relationship with Ola (Patricia Allison), while also dealing with his relationship with Maeve (Mackey). If you cast your minds back to the season 1 finale, you'll remember that Maeve went to Otis' house to tell him how she feels but caught him kissing Ola instead.

Maeve and Aimee's (Aimee Lou Wood) relationship, on the other hand, is thriving after Aimee ditched 'the Untouchables'. And as for our beloved Eric (Gawta)? He notices his new-found self-confidence attracting unfamiliar kinds of attention. Oooh.

What does Sex Education season 2 come out?

In other news, Adam (Connor Swindells) is still at military school but will return. He's also still conflicted with his feelings for Eric.

Lily (Tanya Reynolds) has hit pause on her sexual endeavours to focus on her creative talents. She also finds a newfound friend in Ola. Maeve's ex-boyfriend Jackson (Kedar Williams-Stirling) is forced to flex his mental rather than physical muscle and is still buckling under pressure from his parents to succeed.

On the grown-ups front, everyone's favourite sex therapist Jean (Anderson) and Jakob’s (Mikael Persbrandt) relationship is discovered and they have to learn how to operate as a blended family. Jean also forms an unlikely connection with Adam's mum, Mrs Groff, and a friendship between the two women begins to form.

There's also a bunch of new kids arriving in town who will challenge the status quo and um, there's a chlamydia outbreak at Mooredale Secondary school which is quite the scandal.
