Sex Education season two trailer revealed by Netflix ahead of release date

Netflix has treated fans to a sneaky look at the second series of Sex Education ahead of its release later this week.

The wildly successful first season of the high school comedy followed the misadventures of awkward teen Otis (played by Asa Butterfield) whose mother Jean (Gillian Anderson) is a sex therapist.

Inspired by his mum’s work, Otis sets up a sex clinic in his school with his friend Maeve (Emma Mackey). By the end of series one, he’d decided to pack things up - but the second season sees the clinic back in business. This time around, he has a new girlfriend, which could make things awkward with his former crush Maeve.

Meanwhile the school has been hit with an outbreak of chlamydia and the headteacher has recruited Jean to start officially teaching sex education. In yet another cringe-worthy twist, it turns out that Jakob, the father of Otis’ girlfriend Ola, has his eye on the therapist too.

Round two: Sex Education is back for a second series (Netflix)

The trailer also hints at a new romance for Eric (Ncuti Gatwa) who appears to have had his head turned by a visiting student.

Sex Education also stars Kedar Williams-Stirling as Jackson, Connor Swindells as Adam, Aimee Lou Wood as Aimee and Tanya Reynolds as Lily.

The second series has been directed by Ben Taylor, Alice Seabright and Sophie Goodhart, with Jamie Campbell, Ben Taylor and writer and creator Laurie Nunn also serving as executive producers.

Sex Education series two is available to stream on Netflix from Friday, January 17.
