Sex Education 2 Season Actors

Sex Education 2 Season Actors
Sex Education 's cast is full of amazing actors that brought to life the students of Moordale Secondary during the hit show's first season. Season 2 of the Netflix series premiered on the streaming service this Friday (January 17), bringing back our beloved Otis ( Asa Butterfield ), Eric ( Ncuti Gatwa ), and Maeve ( Emma Mackey ), along with more development around season 1's more low-key characters, including Ola (Patricia Allison), Lily (Tanya Reynolds), and the Untouchables. Fans even get a deeper look into the worlds of the Moordale teachers.
But season 2 of Sex Education also introduces a whole slate of new, heart-stealing characters that flesh out the show's zany world. Check out some of those fresh faces below to find out more about the actors who play them and where you've seen them before (hint hint, Game of Thrones ...).
If Dex looks familiar, that's because you'll probably remember actor Lino Facioli as the (recently glowed-up) Robin Arryn from Game of Thrones . A cousin of the Starks, Robin first appeared in season 1 as the bratty kid Lord of the Eyrie but had everyone gooped during the Game of Thrones finale when he resurfaced as a hot young adult.
In Sex Education , Lino plays Dex, a brainy kid on the quiz bowl team who isn't necessarily the nicest to Maeve. He works at the game shop in town and is crushed on by newcomer Viv, and he also happens to be a wizard with a Rubik's Cube (a fact he never lets the other characters forget). Lino was also in the 2010 comedy Get Him to the Greek along with a number of other projects .
Extremely studious and focused on getting into university (at the expense of forming real friendships), Viv is put in charge of tutoring Jackson (Kedar Williams-Stirling) after his injury bars him from athletics, specifically the swim team. Viv isn't thrilled by the duty at first, but she ends up getting some advice on how to flirt with Dex from the Moordale Romeo — and Viv also turns out to be quite the impressive friend to Jackson.
She's played by newcomer Chinenye Ezeudu, whose first credit is Sex Education and who will also be in a few episodes of the upcoming Netflix series The Stranger . The video of Chinenye finding out she got the part of Viv is also one of the most heartwarming things ever, so go watch that immediately.
Sex Education is George Robinson's first major role, one he reportedly left Birmingham University to take. He joins the show as Isaac, Maeve 's new neighbor with an extremely dry sense of humor. The two grow closer throughout the second season by being able to talk about their family troubles, and he also shakes things up between Maeve and Otis, setting up one of season 2's biggest lingering cliffhangers.
Turning heads at Moordale is Rahim, the suave new transfer student from France who attracts immediate attention from the Untouchables. A lover of Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, Rahim wears his heart on his sleeve and takes a liking to Eric, offering a positive, open environment for their relationship to grow — plus, he knows a lot about douching.
Sami, a 20-year-old French actor and model, has been in a number of other TV series in France, including Vive la colo! , Grown Ups , and Netflix's supernatural series Mortel .

Sex Education Season 2 is streaming now on Netflix and fans of the series may recognize a few new faces among the cast Stars like Aja Butterfield, Gillian Anderson and Ncuti Gatwa are joined by a few famous faces, a cast of newcomers and even a surprise cameo from a British national treasure.
We heard about Maeve's troubled addict mother in Season 1, but in Season 2 she is back in Maeve's life, played by Anne-Marie Duff. It's the second troubled mother role in a year for Duff, who was Ma Costa in HBO's His Dark Materials series. She is also known in the U.K. for her role in the original version of Shameless and for playing Elizabeth I in The Virgin Queen .
In a recent interview with Metro , Maeve actress Emma Mackey said of Duff's casting: "As soon as I found out she was playing my mum I welled up a little bit, I'm not gonna lie. She's amazing, she's just like, the most incredible woman and she's so sensitive and profound and works really hard and crafted this amazing character so all I had to do is just react off her."
For Sex Education Season 2, Moordale Secondary School has a new pupil in Rahim. Though when he arrives he turns the heads of the majority of the school's girls, he then reveals he is gay and becomes a love interest for Eric (Ncuti Gatwa). Though probably unfamiliar to English-speaking audiences, francophones may know actor Sami Outalbali from French TV shows like Netflix's Mortel, Les Grands and the movie Les Tuche .
Game of Thrones fans will recognise Lino Facioli, who in Sex Education plays Quiz Heads member Dex, as Robin Arryn, the Lord of the Eyrie probably best known for still being breastfed into his young adolescence. However, the actor also starred in Jonah Hill comedy Get Him to the Greek .
Another Quiz Heads member alongside Dex and Maeve, Viv is probably the smartest person at Moordale and becomes the tutor of dissatisfied swimmer Jackson (Kedar Williams-Stirling) while pining over Dex. Though the actor who plays Viv Chinenye Ezeudu is making her onscreen debut in Sex Education , it is only the first part of a Netflix double bill for her, as she is about to star in the streamer's Harlan Coben adaptation The Stranger later in January.
Also making his debut onscreen is actor and disability activist George Robinson, playing Maeve's new friend and neighbor Isaac. Speaking to HeyUGuys , he said of the character, "Him and his brother move into the caravan site, and he's a bit of a troublemaker. He mills around messing with people, telling people weird stories...very rarely does he say anything with a straight face, similar to myself."
After a potential chlamydia outbreak infects the school, a school board inspector is brought in to find out exactly what is at the bottom of all the hysteria. She also plays a vital role in the finale of Season 2 which suggests she might be back in a bigger role in Season 3. The actress who portrays her, T'Nia Miller, was most recently seen in a lead role in HBO's Years and Years .
In the last episode of the season there is a quiz, presided over by British comedy legend Stephen Fry (who in the U.K. is well known as a quiz host for his former role on BBC show QI ). American audiences may know Fry from his guest roles on shows such as Veep and Bones , or from classic British comedies like Blackadder and A Bit of Fry and Laurie , in which he starred alongside House actor Hugh Laurie.

It is almost time for the second season of Sex Education to hit Netflix . The series will be available to view today (Friday, January 17) at 8am GMT. The new show will be picking up the story from the finale of the last series which saw Otis Milburn (Asa Butterfield) struggling with relationships. Here’s a look at the actors starring in the new series.
Best known for her role as Dana Scully in The X-Files, Gillian Anderson was entering unfamiliar territory when she signed up for the first series of Sex Education.
But Netflix has confirmed all of the main cast will be returning, so she will be back.
Playing the role of a frisky sex therapist, she had audiences laughing at her bluntness.
The fact she is also offering sex advice to her own son, Otis Milburn (played by Asa Butterfield) makes her a relatable character to all mums around.
The young English actor began his acting career at nine-years-old.
Asa Butterfield, now 22, has already been nominated for awards for his performances which include The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas and Son of Rambow.
He plays Otis, the awkward teenager we all fell in love with from the first season.
Otis faces the embarrassment of having a sex therapist as a mother, who interferes with his personal life.
Witnessing sex at a young age, he has always felt awkward discussing the subject, but his shyness has made him a likeable character.
Maeve Wiley is Otis’ Saving Grace from the first season of the show.
She is considered a social outcast and a rebel who befriends Otis.
The teen provides him with the push he needs to face his sexual fears and begins a sex therapy clinic with him.
Maeve Wiley is played by Emma Mackey, 24, who donned fishnet tights and dip-dyed her hair pink for the series.
The English-French actress has been made famous from her role as quick-witted Maeve in the show.
Eccentric Eric grew up in a strict Christian household and his family were none the wiser of his sexuality as a gay man.
In the second series his boost in confidence is set to get him more attention at Moordale.
He is played by Ncuti Gatwa, 27, who received praise for his portrayal of a gay black teen.
The actress from Manchester plays “miss popular” at the school and forms an unlikely friendship with bad girl Maeve.
Sex Education marks Aimee-Lou Wood’s debut series and her most high profile role to date.
Jock Adam Groff is the headmaster’s son who has taken a liking to bullying Eric.
But unbeknownst to his peers, he has to live under strict rules at home.
In the second series he ends up at military school and develops conflicting feelings for Eric.
Connor Swindells, who plays Adam Groff, is also a model and former boxer.
Another jock and sporting star, Jackson Marchetti is admired by all as head boy.
He is played by Kedar Williams-Stirling, 25, who was also a CBBC actor.
Unique Lily Iglehart is in her own bubble as a member of the swing band.
She has come to be one of the more surprising and unpredictable characters, drawing erotic alien comics.
She is played by Tanya Reynolds, who has also played Teresa Benelli in the Sky 1 TV series Delicious as well as starring in Outlander.
Ola Nyman also befriends Otis and later comes to admire him.
She is the brainbox of the group and in the second season Otis will try to progress in his relationship with her.
She is played by Les Misérables star Patricia Allison.
Other cast members appearing in the second season include Sami Outalbali, George Robinson and Chinenye Ezeudu.
Radio Times said: “Apparently Ezeudu will play Viv, a super intelligent, multi-talented academic student, who is anything but talented in love, Outalbali will play Rahim a french student who turns heads when he joins Moordale Secondary and Robinson will play Isaac, who creates waves when he moves into Maeve’s caravan park.”
Season two of Sex Education starts on January 17 on Netflix.

We're calling it - Sex Education is one of the best shows on Netflix right now.
The first season premiered at the beginning of 2018 and broke the streaming platform's own records, with more than 40 million viewers tuning in over the first few weeks to watch this hilarious coming-of-age comedy.
Now, the second season is set to drop on Friday January 17, just in time for us to binge watch all weekend.
Of course, part of the charm of this wonderful show is the cast - mostly unknown actors (until now), who brilliantly manage to convey all the complexities, joy, angst and sexual tension that comes with being a teenager.
And in season 2, there are some new additions to this stellar lineup, with a few intriguing characters joining the gang in Moordale.
Keep on scrolling to meet the talented actors who bring these characters to life.

These are the stars of everyone's new favourite show.
Lead character Otis is a fumbling, bumbling, awkward nerd who has loads of weird hang-ups about sex, thanks to his mother Jean, who is a sex therapist with little understanding of, er, personal boundaries.
Otis is played by British actor Asa Butterfield, who in real life, in a lot cooler than Otis. Until recently, he sported bleached blonde hair. Oh, and he has a casual 2.7 million Instagram followers .
Otis' mother Jean is smart, sexy, but a little bit crazy. And she wears the best outfits.

The show's main female character, the moody but brilliant Maeve, is played by British actress Emma Mackey. Despite trading her bleached blonde and pink locks from Season 1 for a chic brunette hairdo in this season, we still think Emma is a dead ringer for Aussie actress Margot Robbie .
The adorable Aimee is actually played by an actress with the same name - Aimee Lou Wood.
Sex Education is Aimee's first big acting gig.

So, there's a cute new guy in the cast this season...
Moordale's star swimmer Jackson is a killer athlete, but the pressure put on him by his mothers could be enough to break him.
Jackson is played by the very handsome Kedar Williams-Stirling.
Meet Isaac, a brand new character in season 2. He is a new resident at Maeve's caravan park who makes waves this season.
Isaac is played by George Robinson, who is also in a wheelchair in real life. Sex Education is his first big acting gig.
