Ncuti Gatwa is set to reprise his role as Eric Effiong for the forthcoming fourth series, Variety has announced.
Ncuti – who is also set to appear alongside Margot Robbie and Sex Education co-star Emma Mackey in the forthcoming Barbie film – has proved to be a huge fan favourite, with Eric’s romance with Adam Groff and his friendship with Otis Milburn taking centre stage in the show.
Confirmation he will be involved in the new series follows the exits of fourth other actors.
Simone Ashley, known for playing Olivia, previously said she would not be returning, instead focussing on her role as Kate Sharma on fellow Netflix series Bridgerton.
Sex Education series 1-3 are streaming on Netflix now.
