Sex Education will return for a fourth series on Netflix

Sex Education has been renewed by Netflix for a fourth season just over one week after series three started streaming.

The third instalment of the Wales-made show ended on a few major cliffhangers, so it's no surprise that there'll be more episodes.

We won't spoil any details of what happens in series three, but what you can see are the stunning Welsh locations used in all seasons of the global hit which follows the lives of teenagers and young adults at Moordale High.

Netflix has not shared any information on the cast, led by Asa Butterfield, Gillian Anderson, Emma Mackay, Ncuti Gatwa, returning, but we hope to see all the main players back at fictional Moordale once more.

There's just a simple post on the Sex Education Instagram account confirming another season. Over on the Netflix Instagram, in keeping with the show's confusing '80s tone, there's a homemade video clip making the announcement.

Series three sees some changes at Moordale High, which is filmed at the University of South Wales' Caerleon campus, thanks to new headteacher Hope Haddon, who is played by Jemima Kirke.

But while things are a little different on screen, fans of the Netflix hit are still confused about one major element - the time period Sex Education is set in.

Throughout all three seasons it's a question that's baffled fans, with '80s fashion and modern-day smartphones leaving everyone wondering whether we're in present day or have gone back a few decades.
