PETRIFYING RIGHT!! The third season of Netflix’s Sex Education has just been released. The audience has already gone gaga over the ending scene. Fan’s were heartbroken after Emma Mackey hinted that she will not be in the series for longer. According to an article published in Hunger, she says, “I can’t be 17 my whole life.”
We’re devastated, but if there’s anything Sex Education has taught us over the years, it’s understanding the tenuous nature of choices.
“Sex Education is so momentous as a concept, as a show, and the cast are phenomenal,” she said in her cover interview for the publication. “I genuinely care about them all a lot and I made lifelong friends. But the bittersweet nature of it is that I also can’t be 17 my whole life.”
“I’m only sort of realising now, with a little bit of a distance, how much of an impact [Maeve] has had on people.”

Emma even aspires to make a career in filmmaking. She says, “I’m very attracted and seduced by the idea of writing a film and conceiving something, being there at the conception of a story, working at it, seeing it through, and then choosing a team.”
Fans are desperate to see where the story would go in the fourth installment. But this news comes like a thunderbolt. Sex Education without Maeve Wiley is that even possible.

Losing Emma Mackey from the series would obviously be a huge disappointment, but surely the way her’s and Otis’s love story came to conclusion, a silver lining can be seen. Let’s hope the producer is able to make her stick through the series and season 4 comes with much more drama and banger.
