How are you guys?

Good. How are you?

Good. How are you?

Good.

So season three of Sex Education is coming out. How do you guys feel that it's finally coming out?

Good. Ready. Excited.

Ready. Ready for it to be released into the world. It's taken time, but it's here now. We're ready for it.

Yeah, because a lot of the comments were, oh my gosh, we're ready. We're ready. So I bet you guys are more than ready too.

Very ready. Yeah.

If sitting back, say this was just a show on Netflix and you guys weren't starring in it, do you think that you would one watch it, and two who do you think would be your favorite character?

Great. Oh. Yeah. I, I would definitely watch it. I would love it. I would love it. I would love it. I think my favorite character would be, my favorite character is Jackson. Like, that's very, like, that's very easy for me to say. Like, my favorite character, I just think he's such a well-written and beautifully performed character. And like, has gone through such, he's also gone through such a huge journey like from season one to to where he is now, it's just like huge and I think it's really great for young black boys to see. Um, yeah, that would be my favorite character.

I also love Jackson. Like, I I actually I was like texting Kedar the other day like, you are amazing. Like, especially in season three, like, I was honestly like, Oh my gosh, I'm blown away by you. I'm blown away by you. Like, I'm blown away by his performance. Blown away. I'm just completely blown away. Like, I I can't. It was I was just like, oh my God. God. Yeah. Yeah. And I I think that Jackson is really amazing and properly underrated as well. Like, Yeah. Yeah. people don't like, obviously people love him, but it's like he is so great. Like, he is really and he like you say he's been on such a journey. It's think about what he was like in season one.

Season one. Like, you know.

To where he is now. It's mad. And he's just so, he's such a good person and he's and he's so, yeah, I just think Jackson. Jackson, yeah. Jackson, King Jackson. Yeah.

Well, I hope that's your theory on it too. Sorry. Did I love how you guys agreed on it too? You're real team.

Yes. We all love Jackson.

Yeah. It's like telepathy.

Yeah. Yeah.

And there's a lot of cast additions to this season. How do you guys feel about you know adding more people to the mix?

Good. I think it's great. I think it's because each new character that gets added like brings a different voice and a different perspective to the show and I think it's always good to include lots more voices and I think, um, each of the issues gets dealt with like in a nuanced and, um, humorous way as well. But I think like, yeah, each new voice, each new character brings a new voice and I think it's always good to have lots of different voices in there because like, uh, like we said the other day Amy, otherwise you're just in an echo chamber and you've just got like all the same things happening and you need you need stuff to fight against and you need need stuff to learn from and you need to, you know what I mean, so I I love all the new characters and Yeah. Yeah. Hope was like I I really hate, loved to hate her. Yeah. So I, yeah, I think it's good.

Yeah. And you forget, I forget who was here in like season one and then two like, people so quickly just it feels so right. And it kind of you go like, how are we doing this without you? And then you remember they haven't been there the whole time. It's very it's weird like when you remember like that people have.

Do or Yeah. Do it feels like they've been in the cast since season one.

They really do. Like, they just I like, even on set, it was like, I feel like you've been here from the beginning. Yeah. They just slotted right in so, yeah. That's right.

Nice big family.

Yeah, exactly. The nice big family.

And there were comments under the trailer and someone had said, they were like, all everything like I was ashamed to talk about in school gets brought out in the show and makes it feel normal. How do you guys feel knowing like or like how proud are you to know that people relate to this show in such a big way and they've like it betters their lives?

It's amazing. Yeah.

Amazing. It's amazing. And special. It's very special. Like, we don't, I think it's we don't underestimate it. We like very much feel that and and we very much feel grateful for it and also it doesn't go unnoticed. Like, I really like because some of the fans and some of the like the are so supportive and I really like it's such a it's such a beautiful part and it can be, it can be quite overwhelming as we've been told by you know it's quite feels like quite a big responsibility sometimes and you don't want to you know if if people kind of are turning to you for like advice or or kind of help or catharsis, you want to give that to them and you want to make sure that they're you're kind of like looking after them but it is it is amazing. Like, and it's so special because I know that, you know, there aren't that many if this show had been around when we were younger and we were I I know that I would probably it's amazing to know that it's something that I would probably feel exactly this. I would probably be like, God, this is incredible and it's so amazing to be in something like that. Yeah. Because what you see with like the all the the older couples, the older couples, um, on our show is that like relationships are never not hard. You never, you know, we relate to the show as well and like, we genuinely take things, like, I learn so much from Eric and like, if I wasn't if I wasn't playing him, I'd be like, I'd be learning so much from him and I learned so much from all of the characters and you know, I think it's, it's just like this really beautiful thing whereby we can all look at each other and see that we're all just human. As cheesy as that sounds, like, none of us are perfect and none of us have all the answers and like, we can all just look at each other and be like, oh, we're all hot messes. We're all hot messes. Let's just try and accept that and move on, going. Yeah. Yeah.

And it's cool that because the audience will know like because you guys just play your characters so well that obviously like you even relate to the show and understand it and everything like that. So it's cool that you guys are like real, you know, Like you actually relate to the show. Everyone relates to the show, which is like very cool.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You have any special plans like aside from the actual show itself? Do you have any plans to watch all eight episodes when they drop or you won't watch it?

We Well, we've watched it. We've watched them.

Yeah. I mean Netflix like they gave they gave us the whole season. Like, they put it onto our accounts and it's like, how do you you can't not you can't like I couldn't wait. For people. And I like, I remember like texting my friend, like, do you want to watch it with me tonight? And then by the time that they came over, I'd watched the whole thing. So I was like, you better go home. Yeah. Yeah. It was so, yeah. Honestly, I just absolutely and for the first time as well, I really felt, well, not I have it sometimes, but really felt this time that a lot of it I was just watching the show as like an audience member. I wasn't like watching it as Amy the actor going like, oh, Amy, what the hell are you doing? Why did you make that choice? I very much watched it as like, wow. I love this show. It's great. And I really wanted to see what happened next like, even though I know. But I hadn't seen And you get to see all your friends doing such amazing work because you don't really see it on set because we're all pretty separate. So, so exciting. Yeah.

Do you guys have or when was the last time you saw everybody together, the cast? Has it been a hot minute since you've all been together?

Oh, it's been a hot minute.

It's been since since we were filming.

Since we were filming, yeah.

Since we were filming. Everyone's like gone off and done other projects and then also there's like a pandemic. Um, and so it's been like it's been tricky. But over the next couple of weeks, I think we're gonna chat. There's a couple like screenings and stuff. So hopefully we all get into But it it's quite I think we all get so excited to see each other again that we get a bit like, don't even you get like, It's like too much for us. It's like too much. And you malfunction because you're just so like full with excitement to see everyone again. Yeah. I think. Yeah. You see like one person and you're like, you know, losing your mind over it and then the next person comes in and it's like, oh my God. It's a lot. It is a lot. It's like the days we're all together on set like the assembly days, it just turns into chaos.

Chaotic. Chaos. Yeah.

Is behind the scenes like a good vibe? Are you guys always laughing? Are you guys always like, what's the vibe?

Behind the scenes is a good vibe. Very good vibe.

It's a very good vibe. Yeah. I mean, we're, yeah, we're all very genuinely close. I think people get surprised like as if it's like an act. It's like we're all very like actually friends and very close and so Yeah. Behind every day is like a bit of a fun fair on set cuz also the work that we're doing as well is is very fun and like ridiculous. Like, we're throwing poo on cars and people are like, it's it's very silly. So then you're surrounded by people that you love and find very funny as well. It's kind of crazy. We've got like an ensemble of very very funny actors. Like, and our directors, producers, crew, like, the whole day from start to finish is just laughter and fun, like. It is. Like a play seven days huh? Pretty nice.
