A Co Down actor is preparing to go "back to school" as she lands a role in the major Netflix show Sex Education.

Thaddea Graham is one of the seven new actors set to join the team for series four, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Thaddea, who was born in China and raised in Northern Ireland, is no stranger to the screen having starred in Doctor Who and Netflix crime drama The Irregulars.

The 25-year-old attended Bloomfield Collegiate School in Ballyhackamore before training with Arts Educational School in London to pursue her career in acting.

Sex Education follows the lives of the students, staff and parents of the fictional Moordale Secondary School as they contend with various personal dilemmas, often related to sexual intimacy. With series three ending with the closure of Moordale, drama is likely to unfold as the pupils start their new college.

With Asa Butterfield as Otis and The Fall star Gillian Anderson as his mother Jean, Thaddea will be joining a star-studded cast in her newest project.

It is unclear yet what Thaddea's character might be like but she is being credited as a 'series regular' along with six other new faces set to bring laughter and drama to the popular show.

Thaddea took to Instagram to share the big news, posting a photo of a pencil case, sex education novel and laptop with an article on 'how to survive the first day of school' open on the screen - hinting to revisiting her teenage years on the show. It was joined by the caption "Back to school I go".

*Series 1-3 of Sex Education are currently available for screening on Netflix
