Sex Education Is Getting New Cast Members For Series 3 — Get the Full Rundown

Recording artist and songwriter Dua Saleh is joining the cast of Sex Education as Cal, a nonbinary student who attends Moordale High. The show marks Saleh's acting debut, making them a true newcomer to the series.

English-American artist and actor Jemima Kirke, whom you may recognise from Girls and Untogether, is joining Sex Education for its third series as a headmistress named Hope. According to the Netflix synopsis, Kirke is a new teacher who "tries to return Moordale to a pillar of excellence."

Maeve Wiley, aka Emma Mackey, will be returning to Sex Education for its third series, and we are so grateful. After that cliffhanger ending, we can't wait to see what happens with Maeve and Otis, and we're not the only ones!

Otis's mum, Jean Milburn, aka the sex therapist who inspired him to start his own "clinic", will be back in series three for even more awkward adventures. At the end of series two, Jean was faced with a bit of a life-changing decision to make after discovering that she'd become pregnant, so we can't wait to see what happens next.

Series three of Sex Education wouldn't be complete without Otis's best friend, Eric Effiong, by his side. Ncuti Gatwa will be returning for the show's new series, to continue his blossoming relationship with Adam Groff (played by Connor Swindells).

Series two was quite an experience for Adam Groff, played by Connor Swindells, and he's back for more. The third series of Sex Education will see Adam exploring his newfound relationship with Eric, and we're sure he'll have some major feels about his uncle coming to town.

Simone Ashley, who's recently been confirmed to join Bridgerton's upcoming series, will in fact be returning to Sex Education for series three. Continuing her role as Olivia Hanan, one of Moordale High's resident mean girls, we're looking forward to seeing how her character changes.

Patricia Allison will be back for series three as Ola Nyman, aka the daughter of Jean's former love interest. Back in series two, we saw Ola explore a relationship with Lily Iglehart (played by Tanya Reynolds), so we look forward to seeing how far they've both come.

Lily Iglehart, played by Tanya Reynolds, had quite an eventful time in series two, so it makes perfect sense that she'll be back for the show's upcoming series to tie up some loose ends. After an unfortunate end to her "relationship" with Otis, she began to explore the idea of being with Ola, so we're looking forward to seeing if they're both in it for the long haul.

Chinenye Ezeudu will be back in series three, continuing her role as Viv Odusanya. Her character was introduced in the show's second series, and she quickly became good friends with Jackson Marchetti (played by Kedar Williams-Stirling) after helping him with his career decisions.

Alistair Petrie has portrayed the somewhat insufferable Michael Groff for two series, and we can confirm that he will in fact be back for series three. It's clear that the new series is going to be a big one for Mr Groff, and we look forward to watching him deal with a potential divorce, his brother visiting, and being put on leave after his meltdown at the school play.
