Netflix has dropped the trailer for Season 2 of “Sex Education,” and this year there have been some changes at Moordale Secondary — namely, a really bad chlamydia outbreak.
But have no fear — Jean Milburn (Gillian Anderson) is here. Otis (Asa Butterfield) looks on in horror as his mother stands before the school assembly to start “an open conversation about S-E-X,” which inspires one classmate to shout out, “Didn’t you wank off a courgette?” (That’s British for zucchini).
Watch the trailer above.
Season 2 premieres Jan. 17. Here are Netflix’s descriptions for both Seasons 1 and 2 to get you caught up in case you missed anything:
