Sex Education stars say there's "definitely a different tone" to season 3

Two of the show's stars, Tanya Reynolds (who plays Lily) and Kedar Williams-Stirling (Jackson) have been chatting to Cold Feet star Cel Spellman on his Call of the Wild podcast, and while they didn't reveal when series three would drop, they did hint at what was to come.

They prepared us for a slight change in direction by teasing that there's "definitely a different tone" to the new season.

"There's two new characters this time," says William-Stirling. "I feel like it's going to be different because we also shot it in a different season. Normally we shoot in summer but because of COVID we had to shoot it in the winter.

"There's a whole storyline that happens where just the aesthetic of the whole thing changes. So without giving too much away, it's definitely a different tone this year and it's going to be exciting to see on screen." We're officially intrigued.

Reynolds adds, "We're not allowed to say anything but there are new scandals and I can't wait to see how people react to some things. I think as Lily gets older she's definitely going to become a Greta Thunberg type."

Williams Stirling also gave an insight into his preparation for playing swimmer Jackson. "They're quite stringent about what they eat so I had to train for the role, my diet changed and for the first year I needed to put on weight and eat more fish!"
