Hell Yeah! Netflix Renewed Sex Education for Season 2!

Netflix delivered some good news on Friday: Sex Education has been renewed for Season 2.

The coming-of-age dramedy stars Asa Butterfield as Otis, the 16-year-old son of a liberal sex therapist (Gillian Anderson), in an awkward but brutally honest tale of growing up. Otis has problems being sexually open himself, but he nevertheless winds up running a sex advice clinic with Maeve (Emma Mackey), the hottest girl in school.

The series premiered in January and was a critical success. Netflix doesn't typically release viewership numbers but did announce that more than 40 million people have tuned into the dramedy during the first four weeks it's been on the streaming service. Season 2 will again comprise eight episodes and will begin production this spring in the U.K.
