The Chosen One could be Netflix’s most interesting coming-of-age fantasy show after Stranger Things. Both shows had kids at the center of the plot, with a few adults helping them reach their final goal. In The Chosen One, there were only a few adults who were trying to help Jodie find his calling. One of them is his mother, Sarah.
Sarah saved Jodie from being kidnapped in the prologue of the show and drove off to Mexico. She knew her son Jodie carried some powers, and to make sure nobody exploited him, she left the country in the hope that no one would follow her. Set in the late 1990s, Jodie is now a 12-year-old kid who is on pills to control his seizures. The seizures are nothing, but the dreams Jodie comes across frequently. Sarah always stays by his side and has been a good parent to him so far.

The upcoming season of Sex Education will be without Rakhee Thakrar. The actress, who played teacher Emily Sands in the Netflix dramedy, confirmed to Daily Star Sunday that she will not be returning for Season 4.
“I’m not part of the new series. I can’t really talk about why,” she told the publication, adding “But I’m so proud of the show and grateful to have been part of something so important. There is nothing bad about Sex Education.”
Deadline has reached out to Netlix for comment.
Thakrar follows the recent exits of Tanya Reynolds, who portrayed Lily since the series’ launch, Patricia Allison (aka Ola) who played Lily’s romantic interest, and Bridgerton‘s Simone Ashley, who announced her departure earlier this year. Thakrar also is an original cast member on the series.
“It’s just the natural progression of these shows,” Reynolds told UK’s Radio Times in an interview last month.

Sex Education will be without another key cast member ahead of Season 4.
Tanya Reynolds, who has played Lily since the series launch, won’t be returning to the dramedy for the upcoming season.
“I’m not [returning], actually, which is sad, very sad,” Reynolds told the UK’s Radio Times. “It’s just the natural progression of these shows – when you have such big ensemble casts and so many characters, I think you have to let a few older characters go to make way for newer ones, which is absolutely the right thing, the way it should happen.”

The return of one of Netflix’s most popular and critically well-received comedies is just a few weeks away. On Tuesday, Netflix unveiled the trailer for “Sex Education” Season 3, which will premiere Friday, September 17. Created by Laurie Nunn, the hourlong series hasn’t released a new episode since January 2020 (due to pandemic-related production delays); the wait, as they say, makes the anticipation for the new season all the more intense.
The series’ Season 3 synopsis reads:
It’s a new year, Otis (Asa Butterfield) is having casual sex, Eric (Ncuti Gatwa) and Adam (Connor Swindells) are official, and Jean (Gillian Anderson) has a baby on the way. Meanwhile, new headteacher Hope (Jemima Kirke) tries to return Moordale to a pillar of excellence, Aimee (Aimee Lou Wood) discovers feminism, Jackson (Kedar Williams-Stirling) gets a crush, and a lost voicemail still looms. Prepare for commitment animals, alien phenomena, vulva cupcakes, and much more of Madam Groff.

The good days at Moordale High appear to be well and truly in the past.
Netflix has dropped the full-length trailer for Sex Education Season 3, and the new headmaster (played by Jemima Kirke) appears to be all about embracing change.
She's clearly been given the job of clearing up the school's image after it being declared "Sex School" following a string of very public controversies.
Hope sets out to change quite a bit about the school, including giving the students uniforms, painting over lockers, and among other wild things.
There's even a woman in one of the classes yelling at the students that sex is bad. Make of that what you will.
We also delve deeper into the complicated relationship between Otis and Maeve, who has clearly not been around each other since the whole deleted voicemail at the end of the second season.
Speaking of Maeve, it looks like...

Sex Education returns to Netflix later this year, and there will be some big changes.
Netflix unveiled a promotional video for Moordale High, which shows the students promoting the school under the order of the new headmistress.
Hope's plan is to get the school back on track, and it's clear that some of the students are struggling with a camera on them.
One of the most surprising moments shows Jackson putting his hand on Hope's shoulder, possibly teasing him having a crush on the new headmistress.
The purpose of the clip is to get people to "Choose Moordale!"
But, will the school be able to bounce back?
