Ella McCkay marks Brooks’ first film since the 2010 rom-com How Do You Know starring Owen Wilson and Reese Witherspoon. It will center on an idealistic young politician, who’s preparing to take over the job of her mentor, the state’s longtime incumbent governor, while juggling familial issues and a challenging work life.

In addition to Mackey (S-x Education) and Harrelson (The Hunger Games), this promising project will also star Jamie Lee Curtis (Everything Everywhere All at Once), Ayo Edebiri (The Bear), Albert Brooks (Drive), Kumail Nanjiani (Eternals), and Spike Fearn (Tell Me Everything).

Steve Asbell, president of 20th Century Studios, said they’re looking forward to joining forces with Brooks for his first film in years.

“As one of the most empathetic dramatists of our time, James Brooks has set the bar across film and television for decades. Jim is also a foundational element in the bedrock of 20th and we couldn’t be more proud to support him in his long-awaited return to the director’s chair,” said Asbell in a statement.

The new trailer sees Otis Milburn (Asa Butterfield), Eric Effiong (Ncuti Gatwa), and other students from Moordale Secondary School trying to start anew at Cavendish Sixth Form College. Season 4 also brings new challenges for Maeve Wiley (Emma Mackey), who’s now studying in America, and Dr. Jean Milburn (Gillian Anderson), as she tries to raise a new baby all on her own.

The Season 4 trailer also teases the return of many other fan favorites, including Connor Swindells as Adam Groff, Kedar Williams-Stirling as Jackson Marchetti, Alistair Petrie as Michael Groff, Mimi Keene as Ruby Matthews, and Aimee Lou Wood as Aimee Gibbs. Schitt’s Creek star Dan Levy also appears in the trailer, as Maeve’s new tutor in the United States.

S-x Education premiered on Netflix in 2019, and quickly became one of its most acclaimed shows, even winning the best comedy series award at the International Emmy Awards. Its fourth and final season will premiere on Netflix on September 21.

While doing the press at the BAFTAs, Mackey was asked if she’ll be back in Season 5 of the beloved teen series. She revealed she just finished filming the fourth season, adding that she said goodbye to Maeve and that she doesn’t expect to come back for another season.

Despite her exit, Mackey is very excited about what’s to come and she’s looking forward to watching the show as an audience member.

“It feels very familiar! And it’s a bit more sporadic because we have more characters. So there’s… I’m not in it as consistently… We’re in the middle of filming now, and I’m excited to be back. And yeah, I’m intrigued to know what’s going to happen,” Mackey told Radio Times.

Mackey’s career took off when she was cast in S-x Education in 2019, but she doesn’t owe her Rising Star Award to this series alone. She played the titular role in the Emily Brontë biopic last year, and we’ll soon get to see her in Barbie alongside Margot Robbie.

Ackie is best known for playing Whitney Houston in the recent biopic I Wanna Dance with Somebody, in addition to playing key roles in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and Master of None. Daryl McCormack had a fantastic 2022, starring in Bad Sisters, Good Luck to You, Leo Grande, and returning for the final season of Peaky Blinders.

S-x Education co-stars Emma Mackey and Aimee Lou Wood are also in the running, but with different projects: Mackey owes her nomination to the role in Emily, while Wood got her big break with Living. The fifth spot went to Sheila Atim, the breakout star of The Woman King.

Jane Millichip, the BAFTA CEO, said that recognizing and supporting creative talent is of the utmost importance for their organization and that they’re delighted to announce this year’s nominees in collaboration with EE.

“This year’s five nominees have displayed a breath-taking ability to tell stories and create characters that resonate with their audiences, and it’s now up to the British public to decide who will take home the award on 19th February,” said Millichip in a statement.

Emma Mackey disused the experience of working on this project with Empire Magazine and dropped some hints about the role she’ll play in the film.

“Right in the beginning, we had a sleepover for the Barbies, which would involve playing games with Scott [Evans] and Ncuti [Gatwa]. I don’t play games usually, because I get so competitive and angry. But Scott and I were top of the game,” said Mackey.

Judging by her statement, she’s set to play one of the iterations of Barbie, and it’s believed that Issa Rae, Alexandra Shipp, and Hari Nef will do the same. Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling will portray Barbie and Ken, while the rest of the cast includes America Ferrera, Simu Liu, Kate McKinnon, Michael Cera, and Kingsley Ben-Adir.

Mackey also disused the experience of working with Gerwig with Empire, describing her as “invested and precise” and “so childishly delighted by what she’s doing.” Barbie marks the follow-up to her adaptation of Little Women and it’s set to be released on July 21, 2023.

With season three barely out the gate, fans of the Netflix series are already hoping that the streaming service will renew the show for a fourth round. 

Whether the entire cast would return, however, seems to be up in the air.

The romantic tension between Otis Milburn (played by Asa Butterfield) and smart but unconventional Maeve Wiley has been a continuous theme throughout the show’s three seasons. But Emma Mackey who stars as Maeve has now hinted that perhaps the couple won’t end up together after all as she may not return even if the series does.

“Sex Education is so momentous as a concept, as a show, and the cast is phenomenal. I genuinely care about them all a lot and I made lifelong friends,” she said. “But the bittersweet nature of it is that I also can’t be 17 my whole life.”

Despite playing teenagers, the majority of the cast are in their twenties, including Mackey who is already 25.

Netflix has yet to confirm whether Sex Education will return for a fourth season.
