All good things must come to an end, including Netflix's Sex Education. The sweet, raunchy coming-of-age series bids farewell with its fourth and final season, and by the looks of the trailer, it's going to be an extra emotional ride.

Change is in the air this season. With Moordale closed, Otis (Asa Butterfield), Eric (Ncuti Gatwa), and their fellow students must now navigate a new school: the free-spirited Cavendish College. (Which already has a sex therapist of its own!) Meanwhile, Maeve (Emma Mackey) settles into her program in America, and Jean (Gillian Anderson) copes with raising her newborn baby alone.

But amidst all this change, Sex Education Season 4 promises some classic sexual hijinks and the growing-up lessons that come with them. Otis struggles to take a good nude, Aimee (Aimee Lou Wood) catalogs her orgasms, and Jean begins a sex advice radio show. Hopefully she'll have some extra advice with how to come to terms with the end of Sex Education, because it will certainly be missed.

Season 4 of Sex Education premieres Sept. 21 on Netflix.
