Sex Education‘s Season 4 premiere was watched by 2.75M viewers in the week to September 24. The second episode in the season was viewed by 2.4M people.
Sex Education out-punched At Home With The Furys, the documentary series on boxer Tyson Fury, which launched to an audience of 2.6M in August.
Starring Gillian Anderson, the Eleven-produced series has topped Netflix’s own TV ratings chart for two weeks in a row, amassing 25.4M views.
In the UK, the 2.75M viewers for Sex Education‘s first episode was only enough to secure it 35th place in Barb’s list of the biggest shows of the week. Top of the pile was Strictly Come Dancing with 8.4M viewers.
The figures only include people watching on television sets, meaning that viewing on mobile devices does not feature in the numbers.
