After Moordale Secondary School had closed, the students moved to a new school, Cavendish Sixth Form College with mostly familiar and some new faces. As per the streaming giant, this school is even more progressive and prioritizes things like sustainability and daily yoga in the communal garden. "It even has a popular clique who are held in high regard simply because they're kind."
Asa Butterfield as Otis
Otis, the son of a sex therapist, was a Moordale student who collaborated with his classmate to establish a clandestine sex therapy clinic at the school. Soon he became the school's go-to sex therapist. But, now at his new school, Otis is about to face challenges to establish himself which might also affect his personal relationships. He is also in a long-distance relationship.
Gillian Anderson as Jean
Jean is a sex therapist and Otis's mother. Though she is a very confident woman and brilliant at her job, she is exhausted, preoccupied, and estranged from her newborn baby after a complicated birth.
