A second series of Netflix’s comedy drama Sex Education starts filming shortly on location near the Welsh border.
Produced by Eleven Films, the show features Asa Butterfield as a teen who sets himself up as a sex therapist at his school, while also struggling with his own efforts to lose his virginity.

The drama films in the Symonds Yat region of the west of England near the Welsh border, though the story itself does not have a specific setting.
Netflix organised a Penarth-based training programme for the first series of Sex Education, as part of a broader plan to help boost the UK’s crew base, with plans to shift trainees to full-time roles on the second season.
Sex Education marked the first greenlit series for writer/creator Laurie Nunn and was also the first full-length TV show for director Kate Herron.
Netflix made 40 productions in the UK through the course of 2018.
