Netflix wants fans of its British teen comedy Sex Education to “finish together” in the trailer for the show’s final season.

The two-and-a-half minute first look at the fourth season teases a busy farewell to the series, which helped catapult or bolster the careers of current and former stars, including Emma Mackey, Ncuti Gatwa, Simone Ashley and Asa Butterfield. Set to the Meat Loaf classic “I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That),” the trailer sees Butterfield’s Otis and Mackey’s Maeve grappling with the intricacies — including well-shot nudes — of a long distance relationship as she attends the prestigious U.S. school, Wallace University.

Gatwa’s Eric can also be seen realizing his anxieties over how he and Otis not being losers again may be overblown as he further embraces himself, and encourages other Moordale Secondary classmates to as well. And at home, Gillian Anderson’s Jean juggles a new baby, her job and an evolving relationship with Otis.

With a competing sex therapist on the Cavendish Sixth Form College campus and a new progressive vibe — daily yoga, a focus on sustainability and a popular clique known for being kind — the entire Sex Education crew is getting a schooling on what it means to try something new on the journey to finding themselves. “Get your tissues ready,” Netflix teases. “Let’s finish together.”

While featuring a slew of familiar faces, the trailer also teases the first look at Hannah Gadsby’s role alongside Anderson, and Dan Levy’s portrayal as Maeve’s professor and a famed author.

Aimee-Lou Wood, Connor Swindells, Kedar Williams-Stirling, Mimi Keene, George Robinson, Chinenye Ezeudu, Dua Saleh, Alistair Petrie, Samantha Spiro, Jim Howick, Rakhee Thakrar and Daniel Ings also lead the cast, alongside season four additions Lisa McGrillis, Marie Reuther, Jodie Turner Smith, Eshaan Akbar, Felix Mufti, Anthony Lexa, Alexandra James, Reda Elazouar, Bella Maclean and Imani Yahshua.

Sex Education comes from creator Laurie Nunn, who also executive produces alongside Jamie Campbell, Ben Taylor and Clare Couchman. Callum Devrell-Cameron serves as series producer, with Rem Conway as a producer. Dominic Leclerc, Michelle Savill and Alyssa McClelland direct the final season, with writing from Troy Hunter, Krishna Istha, Selina Lim, Ethan Harvey, Annalisa Dinnella, Bella Heesom and Thara Popoola.

Sex Education season four debuts on Netflix Sept. 21.
