Sex Education's fourth and likely final season is on its way, coming out at some point this year.

When we last left the gang, Meave had taken an offer to study abroad, while it was announced that Moordale is being sold to developers. It felt like it could have been the ending to the show, but is instead being used as a way to retool the Netflix hit for what will almost certainly be its last run.

Appearing on Capital Breakfast, actress Aimee Lou Wood said: "It’s very new.

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

"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.

"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 4 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 1-3 is available to stream via Netflix.
