Netflix have announced that their hit drama series, Sex/Life will be returning for a second season.
According to Netflix, the show’s first season was watched by 67 million households in the first four weeks after release. This makes it the third largest audience for an original Netflix series. Only the first seasons of Bridgerton and The Witcher garnered a greater audience.
Sex/Life creator and writer Stacy Rukeyser said in a statement, “Sex/Life is a dream come true. To create a show about empowered female sexuality that has entranced so many millions of viewers is not only immensely fun but also incredibly gratifying. When I think about all the women who have reached out from all over the world to say that the show speaks to them in a deeply personal way, I am so inspired. I’m thrilled and grateful for the opportunity to continue telling this story for Billie, and for all of us.”
