Sex Education: the best behind-the-scenes photos shared by the cast
Get a sneak peek into what goes down on set 👀
It's the moment we've all been waiting for: Sex Education season 3 is officially out on Netflix, and it's even more fabulous than we'd expected. All of our favourite characters (plus some newbies) have returned for the new series, with Otis, Eric, Ruby, Aimee, Maeve, Adam, Ola, Jackson, Viv, Lily and more back on screen. And if you thought you loved the fictional characters, you'll love the real-life cast who play them even more.
Sharing some insight into all the fun had on the Sex Education set, the cast have been busy showing us exactly what they got up to behind the scenes. As expected, it looks pretty fun. Here are some of the best pics...
Asa Butterfield's elf ears
We reckon the fancy dress box on the Sex Education set is stacked pretty high, and it seems as though Asa Butterfield (who plays Otis) entertained himself by rooting around in it. Featuring Otis' now-iconic moustache, of course.
Asa Butterfield & the rest of the cast
It seems like Asa was a fan of the selfie on set, taking snaps with everyone, including Patricia Allison (who plays Ola), Gillian Anderson (Jean Milburn), Mimi Keene (Ruby) and more. Scroll through his photo dump for the highlights...
Mimi Keene, Simone Ashley and Chaneil Kular
...a.k.a Ruby, Olivia and Anwar. Scroll through for some of Chaneil's (Anwar) favourite moments from set. Can we join in on the fun, please?
Simone, Asa, Mimi and Chaneil
The gang are back and this time it's in full costume. Simone Ashley (Olivia) added in her caption, "The best memories with this cast and crew ❤️ very proud of this talented family." Aww, you guys.
Aimee Lou Wood's vulva cupcakes
Aimee Lou Wood, who plays Aimee Gibbs on the show, shared a photo dump of her own, featuring some iconic moments from the cast behind the scenes (see slide 1: vulva cupcakes). Swipe to see Asa and Emma (a.k.a Otis and Maeve) cracking up on camera too.
Chinenye Ezeudu & the rest of the cast
Chinenye, who plays Viv, has been the queen of the on-set selfie, sharing tonnes of behind-the-scenes snaps along with the rest of the cast. Click to see a classic video-confused-for-photo.
Tanya Reynolds
Chinenye blessed us with this shot of Tanya Reynolds (who plays Lily), aptly compared to the iconic Disaster Girl meme.
Asa Butterfield
Chinenye had her camera out again, this time to catch Asa, asking him what he'd tell his younger self, with the actor playfully replying "don't ask me that".
Chaneil, Chinenye and Patricia
Celebrating the release of the new series, Chinenye posted this fun pic alongside Chaneil and Patricia - showing off the Covid precautions on set, obviously.
Emma Mackey and Chris Jenks
Back in July before season 3 aired, Chinenye was ahead of the game with the behind-the-scenes snaps, posting this snap of Emma Mackey (Maeve) and Chris Jenks (Steve) in uniform.
Chinenye, Simone, Patricia & more
This one's from all the way back in September 2020 so, while it's not strictly a behind the scenes pic, we can still see the cast all hanging out together. Cute!
Kedar Williams-Stirling
Sharing this pic back in Jan 2020, Chinenye gave us a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes of season 2, featuring Kedar Williams-Stirling (who plays Jackson) with one of the props from the sexy alien musical.
