Gillian Anderson, from X-Files and American Gods, will star in a Netflix original series Sex Education. Anderson will play as a sex therapist. This series comes after her role in FOX’s The X-Files, which he has decided to move on from. She had also left American Gods once both showrunners (Bryan Fuller and Michael Green) were pushed out. In Sex Education, Anderson will be joined by Ender’s Game star Asa Butterfield, whom will play as her son.
