Now that production has finally started on Sex Education season 4, we’re learning more about who will be returning and who will be joining. We just learned that Schitt’s Creek‘s Dan Levy has been cast in the upcoming fourth season. Of course, we shared the details regarding his casting down below!
We first learned about principal photography kicking off on Aug. 5, when Sex Education star Asa Butterfield posted a photo of him on set of Sex Education season 4 on his Twitter page. The tweet reads, “Guess who’s back.” However, Netflix didn’t confirm production starting until Aug. 19. A wrap date is unknown at the moment, but filming will likely run into the next year.
Previously, the only information we had regarding Sex Education season 4 was cast departures. Simone Ashley (Olivia), Patricia Allison (Ola), Tanya Reynolds (Lily), and Rakhee Thakrar (Emily) announced they wouldn’t be returning to Sex Education for various reasons. We were saddened by this news but knew that there would be some cast shake-ups after how the third season ended.
On Aug. 19, we finally received some good news about the fourth season. Not only did we get confirmation that production had started, but a list of returning cast members and new members was released. Among the new cast members was Emmy Award-winning actor, Dan Levy.
