Sex Education’s Emma Mackey leaving after season 4

Feb 22 2023

As reported by Deadline, Emma Mackey, who plays one of the main characters on Netflix show Sex Education, will be leaving after the 4th season of the show.

When asked about what is in store for her character Maeve in future seasons, the actor told RadioTimes that she is ready to bid farewell to her character.

‘Season 5? I’ve just finished the fourth one last week! No, I don’t think I’ll be in season 5. I’ve said goodbye to Maeve’ she said.

With Mackey having a less prominent role in the fourth season, she will be following in the footsteps off Ncuti Gatwa, who plays Otis’ best friend Eric.

Ncuti will also be leaving after season 4 as he Weill make history as the 15th Doctor in the 60th anniversary season of BBC’s Doctor Who, whilst also appearing in the Barbie movie.

Prior to season 4, Tanya Richards (Lily) and Patricia Allison (Ola) also left the series, accompanied by Bridgerton star Simone Ashley who played Olivia.

Despite this seeming as a massive lost, it is quite common with big ensemble casts set in high school settings. This could open the door to fresh new arrivals for the show, as was already hinted by casting news.
