90 free Sex Education trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Sex Education landed on Netflix in January 2019 with a socially awkward teenager, a sex-therapist mother played by Gillian Anderson, and a school that looked like a John Hughes film dropped into the Wye Valley. Laurie Nunn's comedy-drama ran four series, was streamed by more than 40 million viewers in its first month, won an International Emmy and became the first Netflix production to use intimacy coordinators. This quiz digs into the world of Moordale and beyond: the clinic Otis and Maeve run from a disused toilet block, Eric's family, the Untouchables, Adam and the headmaster, Jakob the Swedish plumber, the chlamydia panic, Hope Haddon's reforms, the move to Cavendish, Maeve's American university, the guest turns from Stephen Fry to Jodie Turner-Smith, the Welsh campus that stood in for the school and the awards the cast took home. Fifty questions with four options each and a short explanation after every answer. Play on your phone or print it for a rewatch party.
