4. Isaac showing his true colors

Before Sex Education Season 3 starts, remember Isaac’s arc! The way the writers built up Isaac (George Robinson) throughout the second season was truly well done. At first, he was just a crude humored kid in a wheelchair. By the second season finale, he was the viewers’ number one enemy.

For those who have forgotten, Otis finally professed his love and admiration for Maeve in the form of a voicemail while she was kicking butt at the Quiz Bowl. When Otis went to talk with her in person, however, everyone’s lovable fake sex therapist was turned away by Isaac. This would be the same Isaac who would get a hold of Maeve’s cell phone and delete the voicemail left by Otis.

Because of Isaac’s interference, Maeve has no idea how Otis feels, and their love for one another remains a secret to the other. This obviously draws parallels to the first season finale where Maeve was going to share with Otis how she felt, only to see Otis and Ola kissing.

The two of them are destined to be together, but that keeps being pushed down the road. With Isaac still being in the picture, he looks to be the main antagonist for Otis during the upcoming third season, and I truly hope that Isaac gets his comeuppance.

3. Moordale Secondary School is under new management

As seen in the Sex Education Season 3 teaser above, Moordale now employs a new headmistress. Following the leave of absence of Mr. Groff (Alistair Petrie), the school administrator has found a new leader for their institution.

Ms. Hope Haddon (Jemima Kirke) is now the acting headmistress, and she has already made some changes to Moordale in an attempt to make the secondary school much more prestigious and classy. These changes include everyone being (a little too) pro-Moordale, and the introduction of official uniforms. How this will go over with the students is yet to be seen, especially considering how rebellious these students can be, but I am sure the journey will create some entertaining and comedic moments.
