“Sex Education” Season 4 has gracefully made its way to Netflix, bidding adieu to the acclaimed comedy series. This season, fans witnessed significant shifts in the storyline, especially after the riveting events of Season 3. With Moordale’s memorable students moving on in their academic journey, major shifts were evident in the lives of cherished characters like Otis (Asa Butterfield) and Maeve (Emma Mackey). This season, viewers delved deeper into their relationship, unfolding many intimate layers.
A New Chapter for Otis and Maeve
Undoubtedly, one of the highlights of the series is the intricate relationship between Otis and Maeve. Over the years, their bond has been an emotional roller coaster. From the early days, audiences have fervently rooted for this duo, emotionally investing in their evolving relationship.
While their journey had its fair share of ups and downs, with Otis grappling with romantic entanglements and Maeve managing the challenges of her family alongside school, their love remained a central theme. Season 4 brought fresh challenges with Maeve moving to America for her studies, testing their bond in a long-distance relationship. This change paved the way for intimate moments between the two, which were both eagerly anticipated and came with their set of challenges.
Behind the Scenes: Crafting Authenticity
For David Thackeray, the intimacy coordinator of “Sex Education“, the portrayal of these vulnerable moments became smoother due to the commendable professionalism of Butterfield and Mackey. In a conversation with Chase Hutchinson, Thackeray expressed his admiration for the duo’s dedication to their craft, especially during the intimate scenes of Season 4.
Thackeray highlighted how the actors, with their deep commitment, frequently engaged in discussions to ensure authenticity in their performances. He fondly remarked that working with both of them this season was genuinely a pleasure. He said, “They’re so professional and so on when it comes to the intimate scenes, and they’re asking the questions from how we were in Season 2 to where we are now. So, it’s about trying to find a difference in that where, how far in this relationship are we? So yeah, I mean working with them too this season, it’s a joy.“
