Harry Potter star Jason Isaacs joins cast of Sex Education for season three
British Jewish actor will take up the role of Peter Groff in the hit Netflix dramedy series
Harry Potter star Jason Isaacs has joined the cast of Netflix dramedy Sex Education, which has gone into production for season three.
The British–Jewish actor takes up the role of Peter Groff, the more successful and not very modest older brother of Mr Groff, played by Alistair Petrie, who has been staying with his sibling since separating from his wife.
Isaacs is joined by Girls actress Jemima Kirke, playing former student and new headmistress Hope, who plans to turn Moordale back into the pillar of excellence it’s always been.
Rounding off the newcomers is gender non-conforming recording artist and songwriter, Dua Saleh as Cal, a student who instantly clashes with Hope’s new vision for the school.
The returning cast of the eight-part series includes Asa Butterfield, Gillian Anderson, Emma Mackey, Ncuti Gatwa and Connor Swindells.
Sex Education revolves around Otis Milburn (Butterfield), a socially awkward secondary school student who struggles with his interfering sex therapist mother, Jean (Anderson).
Sex Education Season 3 returns in 2021
