Look, if you’re a fan of a Netflix series nowadays, you can really only hope to get four or five seasons before the plug is pulled. While it may feel premature for fans hoping for more seasons, “Sex Education” has hit that fourth season threshold, which means Netflix is ready to say goodbye to the acclaimed sex comedy.

“Ted Lasso”s rise in the Twitter-era has hit a brick wall in criticism, with folks on one side promoting pop culture’s need for positive, kind “content,” television and films alike, and the other raising eyebrows at the notion that “content” must necessarily mold itself to make audiences feel good. The trouble is that if “content” is expected to accommodate a specific dichotomy, and if “content” then violates that “dichotomy,” fan-writers revolt against it (not to mention the calamitous ill of viewing pop art as sugar-dense sludge to be consumed through a streaming IV).

While the names Lee Atwater and Karl Rove may send shivers down the spines of progressives around the world, those two men are at the center of a new film from director James Schamus titled “College Republicans.” And this isn’t going to be your typical political drama.

According to Deadline, Schamus has signed on to direct “College Republicans,” which will star Logan Lerman and Asa Butterfield as versions of real-life conservative figures Lee Atwater and Karl Rove.

It seems like a lifetime ago, especially considering how many appearances Spider-Man has made in the MCU since 2015, but just five years ago, it was being reported that actor Asa Butterfield was the frontrunner to become the new Peter Parker for Sony and Marvel Studios. Of course, we would eventually find out that Tom Holland landed the role and is already about to begin production on his third solo ‘Spider-Man’ feature after appearing in multiple films already as the Wallcrawler.

When Netflix released “Sex Education” almost a year ago there was little fanfare beforehand.  Sure, critics had gone gaga over Laurie Nunn‘s showrunning debut, but from the outset, it was a bit hard to differentiate from all the other teen programs populating the streaming service. The concept was cute though.  A British teenage boy, Otis (Asa Butterfield), becomes the de facto sex education counselor for his classmates at a rural England secondary school (high school in North America).

It was one of Netflix’s standout shows of 2019, and now “Sex Education” will be returning for a brand new season this year, with it set to be as wild as the first season.

The show was created by Laurie Nunn (a writer on the announced “The Summer House”), which showcases the sexual struggles in teenagers at high school, as they grow up and learn about themselves and their budding sexualities.

Netflix – and its algorithm – knows the value of nostalgia. The streaming service has capitalized on it time and again with programming from the retro-infused “Stranger Things” to full-on reboots like “Fuller House,” understanding that the emotion is one of the easiest ways to get audiences quickly invested in their content. “Sex Education” takes a dual approach, with a slippery setting that’s both now and then, and more references to beloved teen movies than an Ariana Grande video.

But imagine if your mom is a well-known sex therapist with no boundaries and is perfectly fine with talking about your masturbation situation?

Movie executives must be scratching their heads, trying to figure out what it is exactly the audiences want. With many sequels and original movies (like “The Nice Guys” and “Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping“) underperforming this year, it’s anyone’s guess how Tim Burton‘s “Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children” will be received. But it certainly looks like it hits all the expected buttons moviegoers would want from a Burton picture.

The last time Asa Butterfield went to space, the result was the less than impressive “Ender’s Game.” But the actor is going to give sci-fi another whirl this summer with “The Space Between Us,” and the first trailer is now orbiting the internet.

Directed by Peter Chesolm (“Shall We Dance,” “Hector And The Search For Happiness“), and also featuring Britt Robertson and Gary Oldman, the story centers on a teenager born on a Mars colony, who seeks out his birth father, and strikes up a friendship with a girl in Colorado.
