Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not watched “Sex Education” Season 3, streaming now on Netflix.
“Sex Education” star Ncuti Gatwa has made a name for himself as Eric Effiong, the loud, colorful best friend to Otis Milburn (Asa Butterfield). Now in its third season, which premiered Sept. 17 on Netflix, Eric’s journey is no longer in the shadow of Otis, but rather a coming-of-age story that he’s navigating alone.
Gatwa sat down with Variety to talk about Eric’s new relationship with recently-out Adam, his relationship to his character by way of African representation on screen and the plot-thickening kiss in Nigeria.
