Emma Mackie’s departure from Sex Education after the fourth season means that we will not see the character of Maeve Wiley in the fifth season.
When asked about the return of the actress, who announced her departure after receiving the Rising Star Award at the BAFTA 2023 ceremony, Emma replied, “Season five? I finished the fourth one last week. No, I don’t think I’m going to do a fifth season. I said goodbye to Mae.”
Stating that we will see him less in the fourth season, the actor said, “It looks very familiar. And it’s a little more messy because we have more characters. So I won’t be very often.”
“But we’re in the middle of shooting right now and I’m really excited to be back,” he added. “And yes, I’m also interested in what’s going to happen because I don’t know either. I’ll figure it out as I go, so it’ll be fun!”
With more and more appearing in big movies lately, it’s no surprise that Emma has moved and stepped away from her debut role. For example, in “Death on the Nile”, “Emily” and the upcoming movie “Barbie”, in which Emily Bronte played the main role.
Her co-star Shuti Gatwa, who plays Erik Effiong, also announced that she is leaving the series recently. The decision appears to stem from his role as the 15th Doctor in Doctor Who, which was announced last May. Shuty will star alongside Millie Gibson in the upcoming season, which will begin after the series’ 60th anniversary special. By the way, the first photos of the actors in the images of their characters appeared recently.
