Hopes are high for a rekindling of romance between Otis and Ruby in the upcoming fourth season of Sex Education. As the highly-anticipated return of Netflix's critically acclaimed coming-of-age show draws near, the marketing campaign has been steadily gaining momentum. Following the release of official promotional images, the first trailer for Sex Education season 4 has been unveiled, offering a tantalizing glimpse into what lies ahead for Otis and his friends.
The events of the season 3 finale of Sex Education lay the groundwork for much of the upcoming season 4. Firstly, with the closure of Moordale Secondary School leading to its students needing to find new academic institutions, Otis finds himself in a hilariously awkward situation during his speech in the trailer. Secondly, Maeve and Otis, after years of ups and downs, finally confess their love for each other. Unfortunately, their blossoming romance is cut short by Maeve's decision to study abroad. While there is anticipation for their reunion, the season 4 trailer for Sex Education suggests that Otis's relationship with Ruby may not be entirely over.
Sex Education Season 4's Trailer Hints at Otis & Ruby Rekindling Their Romance
Content: Sex Education season 3 brought us one of its biggest surprises: Otis and Ruby becoming involved. The details of how and why they started seeing each other were initially unclear, but Otis eventually opened up about it to Eric. Although they kept their relationship a secret, they eventually decided to date openly. Their presence together on the show felt like a breath of fresh air. Unfortunately, due to the show's commitment to an Otis and Maeve romance, the couple had to split up. However, there may be hope for their relationship to reignite in Sex Education season 4.
According to the season 4 trailer, Otis and Ruby will continue to be a part of the same social circle, even as they move on from Moordale. Additionally, new footage shows them in bed together, although they are fully clothed and merely talking. However, the fact that Otis is in Ruby's bedroom suggests that they are maintaining a friendship at least. Given this, there is a possibility that they may reconcile, especially with Maeve being overseas. It is also worth mentioning that promotional stills for Sex Education season 4 feature Otis and Ruby together, implying that there may still be hope for their reunion.
Why Otis & Ruby Is Better For Sex Education Season 4 Than Otis & Maeve
Content: Otis and Maeve's romantic storyline in Sex Education season 3 may have taken a significant step forward. However, it unfortunately feels like there has been little progress despite the show's initial intention of bringing them together. With the confirmation that season 4 will be the last, it seems unlikely that the series will have enough time to fulfill its promise of a satisfying romance for them.
Given these circumstances, it would be best for the show to focus on the relationship between Ruby and Otis instead. In season 3, their relationship was portrayed as strong and it can be argued that they are a better match for each other than Maeve and Otis. The positive influence they had on one another during their brief time together was evident. Reuniting them would serve as proof that healthy and drama-free romances are ultimately the most fulfilling.
