Sometimes the planets truly align in the TV universe - and sometimes they brilliantly collide.

Case in point, the new series of Sex Education, which has just cast Schitt’s Creek star Dan Levy in the new series.

The VERY serious news was announced on Twitter on Friday evening...

The 39-year-old Canadian actor is best known for his portrayal of David Rose in the award-winning Schitt’s Creek, which he co-created with his father Eugene, who also plays his dad in the much-loved series.

Dan will play Thomas Molloy, a famous author and Maeve Wiley’s US course tutor at an Ivy League college, in the Netflix series.

News of his casting has gone down a treat with fans of both shows...

Sex Education follows the lives of the students, staff and parents of the fictional Moordale Secondary School as they face a variety of teenage dilemmas, including relationships, sexual identity and sexual assault.

Ncuti Gatwa, who was recently announced as the new Doctor in Doctor Who, will return to his role as Eric Effiong for the fourth series of Sex Education.

Asa Butterfield, Gillian Anderson, Aimee Lou Wood, Emma Mackey and Connor Swindells will also make their highly-anticipated return.

However Cavendish is a culture shock for all the Moordale students as they come face to face with the college’s progressive students.

The Moordale students are shocked to find daily yoga in the communal garden, a strong sustainability focus and a group of teenagers who are popular for being kind.

Alongside Dan, the cast will also welcome Doctor Who star Thaddea Graham and Marie Reuther, best known for her role in 2021 TV series Kamikaze.

Newcomers Felix Mufti, Anthony Lexa, Alexandra James, Reda Elazouar, Bella Maclean and Imani Yahshua will all also make their Sex Education debuts.
