Sex Education: What is the show about?
Sex Education is about teenagers learning about friendship, sex and relationships in general while struggling with questions and uncertainties about their identities.
It follows Otis Milburn, a socially awkward teenager who is struggling with his awakening sexuality despite the fact that his mother is a sex therapist. He sets up a sex therapy clinic business with Maeve at his school, Moordale, to help fellow teenagers on matters relating to sex, sexuality and relationships.
Sex Education Season 2 plot
Sex Education Season 1 ended on a note that opened up multiple alternative storylines and plots for Season 2. It is therefore difficult to predict what will happen in Season 2. We will have to wait for the official synopsis for details.
However, showrunner Laurie Nunn told Thrillist that Season 2 will continue to focus on Moordale’s sixth former Otis as the leading character.
Fans are looking forward to seeing more of Maeve and Otis. In Season 1, Maeve finally acknowledged her feelings for Otis and when she summons up the courage to let him know how she feels, she sees him getting intimate with Ola (Patricia Allison). This makes her doubt that she and Otis could hook up.
Season 2 will pick up where Season 1 left off. We will see whether Maeve and Otis finally get together or whether Ola and Otis stay together. But we know that Otis had feelings for Maeve from the start. With Maeve having dumped Jackson (Kedar Williams-Sterling), we can hope that she and Otis will finally hook up.
Season 2 could delve more into Adam and Eric’s relationship. According to Nunn, Adam feels isolated and is desperate to connect with someone. His bullying behavior is a symptom of his loneliness.
Eric (Ncuti Gatwa) could find love in Season 2 after he failed to woo Anwar (Chaneil Kular).
In Season 1, Mr. Groff (Alistair Petrie) sent his son Adam (Connor Swindells) to military school. We will learn in Season 2 what eventually becomes of Adam. Will he return to Moordale?
Other characters that Fans are hoping to see more of in Season 2 include Otis’s mother Jean (Gillian Anderson) and his father (Jean’s ex) Remi Milburn (James Purefoy).
