Plot details teased for ‘Sex Education’ season four

Aimee Lou has teased details of the plot for Sex Education season four – offering that “it’s very new.”

Netflix‘s British television show follows the lives of the students, staff, and parents of the fictional Moordale Secondary School, as they contend with various personal dilemmas – often related to sexual intimacy.

In season three of the series, viewers will recall that Maeve (Emma Mackey) had taken an offer to study abroad in the United States, where she left behind her best friend Aimee (played by Lou).

In an interview with Capital Breakfast, Lou detailed how her character manoeuvres through high school now that her friend is across the country.

“We’re at a new school. For my character she hasn’t got Maeve because Maeve is in America,” Lou said. “She hasn’t got a boyfriend for the first time in her life, so it’s all very very new and fresh.”

She continued: “Aimee finds ‘art’. She discovers that she’s a bit of an artist, and I love that, because for the whole of the time, she’s always been made to feel like she isn’t clever, she hasn’t got anything really interesting to say, she’s always saying the wrong thing. But she just thinks in a different way to everyone else and she’s on a different plane, and she’s actually really imaginative and emotionally intelligent and it makes total sense that she’s an artist.”

She added: “What I love is that for the whole three seasons it doesn’t seem like it bothers her that everyone makes these comments about her intelligence, she kind of looks like she doesn’t. But in season four you realise that of course it bothers her and of course she feels insecure about it, and you get to know more of her inner world.”

Sex Education is set to return for its fourth season on Netflix later this year.

Meanwhile, Mackey has recently confirmed that the fourth instalment of the series will be her last, while Ncuti Gatwa, who just took on the role of Doctor Who, also announced his departure from the series.

Simone Ashley, Patricia Allison, Rahkee Thakra are also among the actors to reveal that they won’t be returning for the following season of Sex Education.
