Major Sex Education Character Won't Return in Season 4


Sex Education is undeniably one of the many triumphs of Netflix. Despite the show's target audiences being youth and teenagers, the themes of the show were not really limited to youngsters and are also surely enjoyable to adults. Sex Education 3 was streamed by 55 million users in its first month, although not as high compared to other shows, it's enough to say that the show has a massive audience. While fans are gearing up for Sex Education Season 4, one actress sadly announces her departure from the show.

Patricia Allison's Ola had an eventful arc in Sex Education and is now a major character after returning for another season. Unfortunately, the actress recently revealed in an interview with Capital XTRA that her character won't return in Season 4. Allison will now pursue other opportunities but admitted that she loved her time playing Ola in the Netflix hit show.

“I absolutely have loved being on Sex Education so so much and playing Ola. But unfortunately, I won’t be joining the team for season 4," Allison said. "So sorry to have to break that to you guys. But I’m just going to be doing some other little things, some other opportunities have come up. So, I’ve been doing it for three years, and I’ve genuinely loved it. I love the show. I have to, you guess, I have to say goodbye at some time. But other things are coming! Other things are coming, and that’s really exciting.”

Starting as Otis' ex-girlfriend to Lily's current girlfriend, Ola seemingly had a fun character arc in the show. Despite the hatred her character faced when she was introduced, fans have completely grown fond of Ola. Aside from being romantically entangled with the two major characters, Ola's dad is now in a relationship with Otis' mother, Dr. Millburn, which means that she will now be Otis' step-sister.

It's certainly disappointing that we won't be seeing Ola's continuation in the upcoming season of the show. However, she can still certainly come back in the next ones, if ever there is. For now, Sex Education will reportedly begin filming this August and is pushing a 2023 release date.

Stay tuned for more news about Sex Education Season 4.
