Sex Education Season 3 was originally due to begin filming this month before lockdown caused a delay in shooting. August is the latest they can reportedly restart production as the show is reliant on filming during the longer British summer days. Additional issues may come up with the intimate nature of the series considering the UK government’s two-meter social distancing rules.
Eleven, the British television production company, is working closely with Netflix on production plans along with other UK-based producers.
