Season three of Netflix comedy-drama Sex Education, with scenes filmed in Penarth, will be released on 17 September.

In just one month, residents will be able to spot Penarth Pier and the Paget Rooms on screen.

A film crew and brightly clad extras were spotted on the Pier in March this year.

The Sea Angling Club was transformed into a "Ticket Office", hinting that the Pier may be used as setting for a farewell ferry finale.

Photos released by Netflix also appear to show characters walking along the Esplanade.

Created by Laurie Nunn, the series follows the story of Otis Milburn, an insecure teenage who is ambivalent towards sex in spite (or perhaps because) of his mother being a sex therapist.

Much of the show takes place in school, with many indoor assembly scenes from the first two seasons being shot in the Paget Rooms.

The interior of Penarth's foremost events venue first appeared in Season One, Episode Three as the backdrop for a congregation of teachers and students before later serving as the filming location for a school dance scene.
