The second season of Sex Education [1] is upon us, and we can't wait to return to the halls of Moordale Secondary School. In the second season of this hilariously awkward series [2], Otis attempts to balance his new relationship with Ola and his increasingly strained relationship with Maeve, all while dealing with a chlamydia outbreak at school and his newfound sexual urges. You can expect to see all of your favourite characters from the first season again, but there are some exciting new additions to the cast as well. Before you binge Sex Education season two [3] in one sitting, here an introduction to the cast's newest members.
Anne-Marie Duff as Erin Wiley
Anne-Marie Duff — who most recently starred in BBC's adaptation of His Dark Materials as Ma Costa — is joining the season two cast as Erin Wiley, Maeve's estranged mother, who is a recovering alcoholic and who wants a chance to reconnect with her daughter.
Sami Outalbali as Rahim
Though French actor Sami Outalbali has appeared in several French-language films and TV shows, his role in Sex Education season two marks his first English-language TV show appearance. Outalbali plays new French student Rahim, who causes quite a stir in Moordale.
George Robinson as Isaac
Newcomer George Robinson — who actually put his studies at the University of Birmingham on hold [5] to appear in Sex Education — plays Isaac, the newest resident at the caravan park where Maeve lives.
Chinenye Ezeudu plays Viv
Though Sex Education is newcomer Chinenye Ezeudu's biggest role to date, she's also set to appear in the upcoming Netflix miniseries The Stranger. Ezeudu is joining the cast as Viv, one of Moordale's best students, who struggles when it comes to getting a date.
