Netflix still has yet to announce a release date for the eight-episode second season of its critically-acclaimed teen dramedy “Sex Education” — other than the sometime in 2020 — but it has provided a first look of the said second season to whet its audience’s appetite.

“Sex Education” stars Asa Butterfield as Otis Milburn, a “late bloomer” with little interest in sex, who winds up becoming his school’s de facto sex therapist. In Season 2, Otis will be mastering his “newly discovered sexual urges” in order to have a successful relationship with his girlfriend Ola, while dealing with his strained relationship with Maeve.
