Pictures released in October showed Otis Milburn (Asa Butterfield), Maeve Wiley (Emma Mackey), and their schoolmates back together for more awkward teenage struggles, including a Chlamydia outbreak.

In teaser snaps from the show, we can see Aimee and Maeve sat down with a police officer in one shot, and Otis’ sex therapist mother looking very concerned as she holds a glass of wine to her face in another.

When is Sex Education season two?

Sex Education season two returns 17 January 2020 with eight new episodes, meaning it's just one of many series we have to look forward to as the New Year gets underway.

Netflix announced the news with a tweet, which read: "Get in losers, the new term is starting."

The cast wrapped filming in September, eight months after series one dropped on the streaming platform

What will happen in the next series?

After Otis and Maeve formed their sex clinic for fellow students in season one, the need for a proper Sex Education is highlighted even more in season two after Moordale Secondary is in the throes of a Chlamydia outbreak.

There will also be some new kids to challenge the status quo.

Maeve and Aimee are closer than ever after Aimee ditched the popular crew ‘the Untouchables’ and Eric gets a new-found confidence.

Meanwhile, Eric’s former bully Adam is at military school and remains conflicted by his feelings for Otis’ best friend.

Lily, whose hilarious dance routine won her a legion of fans in season one, has put her sexual interests on hold and finds a new friend in Otis’ girlfriend Ola.

Otis’ mum Jean is also still seeing Jakob, meaning they must learn to operate as a blended family. She also finds a friendship with Mrs Groff, the headmaster’s wife.

Teasing what's in store in the new series, Eric and Otis actors Ncuti Gatwa and Asa Butterfield told Digital Spy there'll be a few love triangles.

Ncuti said: "There are some new people coming in and there's new relationships. There's a couple of love triangles. There's new ladies, there's new gentleman."

Asa continued: "But as well as that, we see a closer look at everyone's lives individually and that goes for all the characters and we kind of see a bit more of what makes them tick, which is nice."

New cast members

The entire series one cast return for Sex Education season two, but there will be some new kids on the block; Sami Outalbali, George Robinson and Chinenye Ezeudu.

Chinenye Ezeudu plays Viv, a super intelligent, multi-talented academic student, who is unlucky in love, meaning plenty of Otis’ advice will no doubt be required.

Sami Outalbali plays Rahim, a head-turning french student joining the students at Moordale Secondary.

George Robinson joins as Isaac, who causes a serious stir when he moves into Maeve’s caravan park.
