Netflix announced that its beautifully healthy, albeit provocative, show would be renewed less than a month after the season two&#39;s excellent debut, showing how much we still love it. While we don&#39;t yet know the release date of the third, hopefully COVID-19 won&#39;t be affected in the same way as other movies and TV shows.<\/p>\n<p>Sex education follows the life, insecurities and sexual obsessions of many members of Moordale High School, located in the stunning Welsh countryside. Here, mother and son Jean and Otis, Gillian Anderson and Asa Butterfield help their friends and colleagues with their sexual problems. It&#39;s Jean&#39;s profession, but Otis is doing it for the quick buck.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#39;s a breakdown of what we know about Sex Education Season 3 thus far, including its likely release date, return cast, and where the show can go from here. Will Maeve and Otis finally become an article? Spoilers follow. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sex-education-season-3-is-confirmed\">Sex education season 3 confirmed<\/h2>\n<p>Netflix confirmed that Season 3 of Sex Education is in process on February 10, 2020.

Given the show&#39;s apparent popularity on social media, it&#39;s safe to assume that Sex Education has found its audience. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sex-education-season-3-release-date-predictions-expect-it-in-2021\">Sex Education season 3 release date predictions &#8211; wait 2021<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet hawk-ignore\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">let&#39;s talk about baby sex, let&#39;s talk about season 3 (of sex education) pic.twitter.com\/qvRIiXwp9B<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NetflixUK\/status\/1226898652880347137\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">February 10, 2020<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Fortunately, Netflix seems to understand exactly how thirsty sex education fans are for more of the show, and marked the season 3 renewal announcement with a teaser.

The teaser ends with an invitation to discover more in the upcoming third season, but it doesn&#39;t reveal an actual release date. <\/p>\n<p>If Netflix stays true to its current launch pattern for the show, which given its qualifying success seems possible, we predict we&#39;ll see the season 3 launch in <strong>January 2021<\/strong>.

When asked about the potential for future stories, Nunn said, &quot;I love writing these characters. It is such a big set and I think the theme of the show, in terms of sex and relationships, really offers an endless story.&quot; opportunities. &quot;<\/p>\n<p>The second season turned away from his focus on Otis and instead chose to lend almost the same time to the wonderfully diverse characters around him. Internet&#39;s newest queer icon, Eric (Gatwa), benefited most from this change in show structure, allowing for a nuanced and moving insight into the struggles of a young queer black man. Clearly, her popularity has not gone unnoticed, as the third season&#39;s teaser video focuses largely on the potential of her burgeoning romance with her former stalker Adam.<\/p>\n<figure data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" alt=\"sex education season 3 story\" class=\" lazy-image-van optional-image\" onerror=\"if(this.src &#038;&#038; this.src.indexOf('missing-image.svg') !== -1){return true;};this.parentNode.replaceChild(window.missingImage(),this)\"  data-normal=\"https:\/\/vanilla.futurecdn.net\/umang.pk\/media\/img\/missing-image.svg\" data- data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/s2cWUPBWYGp7srUhiuCyCa.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/s2cWUPBWYGp7srUhiuCyCa.jpg\"\/><source type=\"image\/jpeg\" alt=\"sex education season 3 story\" class=\" lazy-image-van optional-image\" onerror=\"if(this.src &#038;&#038; this.src.indexOf('missing-image.svg') !== -1){return true;};this.parentNode.replaceChild(window.missingImage(),this)\"  data-normal=\"https:\/\/vanilla.futurecdn.net\/umang.pk\/media\/img\/missing-image.svg\" data- data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/s2cWUPBWYGp7srUhiuCyCa.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/s2cWUPBWYGp7srUhiuCyCa.jpg\"\/><img alt=\"sex education season 3 story\" class=\" lazy-image-van optional-image\" onerror=\"if(this.src &#038;&#038; this.src.indexOf('missing-image.svg') !== -1){return true;};this.parentNode.replaceChild(window.missingImage(),this)\"  data-normal=\"https:\/\/vanilla.futurecdn.net\/umang.pk\/media\/img\/missing-image.svg\"  data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/s2cWUPBWYGp7srUhiuCyCa.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/s2cWUPBWYGp7srUhiuCyCa.jpg\"\/><\/picture><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Sam Taylor)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Eric is not the only student with love in the brain, of course.

It really feels like we are all on the same page, wanting to do the same show. \u201d  <\/p>\n<p>It&#39;s an exciting prospect for a show performed primarily by diverse young talents, both in front of and behind the camera. It&#39;s not difficult to see why sex education has had such an echo with fans. It offers a very humane and unbiased view of the issues facing not only teens, but also many adults who are still accepting of their own sexuality. Nunn&#39;s writing is razor sharp, and the show&#39;s inclusive agenda makes it a great addition to Netflix&#39;s growing library of progressive media and stories. <\/p>\n<p>Bring season 3. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/pre>\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Season 3 of sex education is officially happening.
