Emma Mackey

Sex Education first arrived on Netflix in 2019 and quickly became one of the streaming sites most popular shows.

"But we’re in the middle of filming now, and I’m excited to be back," she added. The announcement came after she was asked if she’ll be back for season five. This comes after Mackey previously confirmed that she would be in fewer scenes of the show upon its return.

The actress, 27, joined the star-studded line-up at the BAFTA Awards at Royal Festival Hall on Sunday, where she picked up the esteemed EE Rising Star gong.

It was incredible just to share the same space. The day before graduating, Emma made the decision to apply for drama schools in London and landed an agent a year later. The Jamaican-born star beat off stiff competition from Jack Lowden, Awkwafina, Kaitlyn Dever and Kelvin Harrison Jr. The series was a breakthrough into the industry for her, and as Maeve she made waves. Thank you to my dad, 'cause I know you're watching down on me, guiding and protecting me on this journey. I'll do the classics but you know, that's how it is!' She is the best selling fiction writer of all time. I went to a Catholic school and did loads of sport and I was really happy. Emma rose to fame starring as fan favourite Maeve Wiley in the comedy-drama series, and wrapped filming on the upcoming fourth series last week.

Sex Education has lost another cast member. The hit Netflix series lost many stars ahead of production on the fourth season. But, with production completed, ...

I'm also finding out as we go along, so it'll be fun!" I'm not in it as consistently," Mackey said. "It feels very familiar! "Season 5? [Bye bubs, thank you for all the lessons and for all the strength.](https://www.tvfanatic.com/2023/02/sex-education-shocker-ncuti-gatwa-exits-after-four-seasons/)" Mackey explained, adding the following:

That makes Mackey the second major “Sex Education” cast member after Ncuti Gatwa, who plays Eric Effiong, to suggest their exit from the series this month.

But expect the upcoming season to be the swan song for “Sex Education,” as yet another main cast member alludes to their exit from the series. Maeve and Eric exiting leaves “Sex Education” main character, Asa Butterfield‘s Otis Milburn, without a major love interest and a best friend heading into Season 5. No word on when “Sex Education” Season 4 premieres on Netflix this year, but with production wrapping earlier this month, it’s safe to say the hit show will return soon.

Emma Mackey confirmed she's leaving "Sex Education" at the 2023 BAFTAs, but she said there's a "happy goodbye" to Maeve Wiley.

But Mackey and Gatwa aren't the only ones leaving the series. Tanya Reynolds and Patricia Allison are also not returning as fan-favorite couple Lily Inglehart and Ola Nyman. Mackey said: "Season five of 'Sex Education?' Bloody hell, I've just finished the fourth one, love — last week!

That includes Maeve, who will be continuing her studies in the States. Tanya Reynolds — aka Lily, who many may remember for her penchant for alien erotica — announced that she would be departing ahead of the fourth season. Mackey confessed that she had "said goodbye" to her character Maeve after wrapping season 4, so an appearance in season 5 would be unlikely. Sadly though, it seems like "Sex Education" won't be a part of that future for Mackey.

Sex Education star Emma Mackey confirmed that she will not be returning as Maeve after the upcoming fourth season of the hit Netflix series.

Season three is directed by Ben Taylor and Runyararo Mapfumo, with Taylor, Laurie Nunn, and Jamie Campbell serving as executive producers. She will next be seen starring opposite Margot Robbie in Greta Gerwig’s highly-anticipated film adaptation of Barbie. “No, I don’t think I’ll be in season 5.

Aside from Emma, Ncuti Gatwa, who plays Eric Effiong, is also rumored to leave the series after the show's fourth season.

Prior to the start of the new season’s production, Mackey has already said that she is “not in [season four] as consistently” as other seasons. I’ve just finished the fourth one last week! “Season five?
