‘Sex Education’ Creator Laurie Nunn Says Hit Teen Show Nearly Didn’t Get Made — Storyhouse
Speaking at Dublin's Storyhouse, Nunn says it was hard to find a UK home for the project until Netflix stepped in.
While Sex Education quickly became a massive global hit for Netflix from the moment it first aired in 2019, writer and creator Laurie Nunn admits that the British teen comedy had a troubled road for many years before it ultimately got made.

Nunn revealed that she received a “strange round of notes” from Channel 4 requesting they take the element of a kid giving sex therapy to his classmates out of the script.
