Season four is set in the aftermath of the closure of Moordale Secondary as Otis and Eric (Gatwa) face a new frontier - their first day at Cavendish Sixth Form College, as per the official plotline. "Otis is nervous about setting up his new clinic, whilst Eric is praying they won't be losers again. But Cavendish is a culture shock for all the Moordale students - they thought they were progressive but this new college is on another level... "Over in the US, Maeve is living her dream at prestigious Wallace University, being taught by cult author Thomas Molloy. Choose or Die Trailer: Asa Butterfield and Lola Evans Get Stuck in a Game That Is All About Chaos, Will They Be Able To Get Out It?

Otis is pining after her, whilst adjusting to not being an only child at home, or the only therapist on campus," the plotline read. In a letter to the show's fans, Nunn said she is proud of Sex Education and thanked the "brilliant writers, cast and crew who put so much heart into making every episode". "We wanted to make a show that would answer some of the questions we all used to have about love, sex, friendship, and our bodies. Something that would have helped our inner teenagers feel a little less alone."

"It's been overwhelming seeing how the show has connected with people around the world, and we hope it's made some of you feel a little less alone too," she wrote. The decision to end the show with the fourth season was not easy, the creator added. "But as the themes and stories of the new season crystallised, it became clear that this was the right time to graduate," Nunn said. Sex Education season four is produced by Eleven for Netflix.
