Sex Education will be back for another term: Netflix has renewed the British teen dramedy for Season 3.

The streamer confirmed the third-season pickup on Monday via the above video featuring cast member Alistair Petrie — aka Moordale’s uptight Principal Groff. In it, Petrie takes on the role of art historian as he examines an “exquisite gallery” of character portraits. He ends on a picture of the series’ newest couple, Eric and Adam.

Sex Education‘s prompt renewal comes on the heels of The Ranch and BoJack Horseman each ending their runs, the recent cancellations of freshman series Spinning Out and Soundtrack and the news that the acclaimed The Crown will end with its fifth season.

In a series of recent TVLine reader polls, Sex Education‘s Season 2 premiere, as well as its finale, averaged a grade of “A-,” while the series’ sophomore run as a whole earned a grade of “B.” Season 3 will premiere in 2021.
