The last session of Moordale Kids will take place with the fourth and last season of ‘Sex Education.’ The series commenced in 2019 and explores the lives of hormonal teenagers who are navigating their lives, education, and growing inquisitiveness about their sexuality and sex. ‘Sex Education’ stars Emma Mackey, Ncuti Gatwa, Asa Butterfield, and others.
Emma Mackey plays Maeve Wiley, a gritty young lady with the haunting presence of her parents’ absence. The love life and her struggle in school due to her image as a ‘c**k biter’ make it difficult, yet she navigates through life’s struggles with the feminism streak on her sleeves and heads high to fight the bullies. She also co-founded the sex clinic with Ottis. In a previous interview, she talked about what brought her on board.

During an interview with Elle, Emma Mackey talked about the success that ‘Sex Education’ reached, what makes the world of the series different from other shows talking about sex education, and most importantly, why she inched towards the character.
Emma Mackey said, “It was a gift of a part; I couldn’t really turn that down. I think any doubts I had were more about my nerves, my own sort of prudishness that I might’ve had at the time, being new and not knowing what was right for me.”
She continued, “Even then, I hadn’t read all the script. I had only read a few [episodes], but I did get very protective of her [as I read]. At one point, I was like, ‘Maybe I would like to play her, because I think she’s quite special.’ “
