‘Sex Education’ Creator Discusses Potential Spinoff Opportunities

Now that Sex Education has come to an end after it’s fourth season, you may be wanting more and wondering if there will be any spinoffs.

In a new interview, series creator Laurie Nunn opened up about the show ending at this time and the potential opportunities for spinoffs.

“It started to become really clear that the characters were coming to this natural conclusion, and I felt really happy about where they were going to be left. And it suddenly felt like the right time to end the show,” she told THR about deciding now was the time to end.

“I think the show definitely could have continued,” Laurie added. “I think that all of the actors are obviously much older now. We’re all much older than when we started, so I think with a teen show, there’s always a sort of endpoint because people can’t play teenagers forever. But, yeah, it definitely felt like the right time to bring it to a close.”

As for any spinoff ideas, she joked that a spinoff could be Otis (Asa Butterfield) and Maeve (Emma Mackey) in 10 years, “married and boring.”

Laurie does, however, want to take a break from Moordale for a bit before exploring any potential spinoffs.

“There are so many different avenues to explore Moordale more. I’ve really loved some of the new characters that have come into series four,” she said. “I think it would be really cool to maybe see some more of them. But, to be honest, I’m not really thinking about any spinoffs right now. I’m just sort of taking a break and getting to know what my brain feels without writing Sex Education for a bit.”
