The French-British actress garnered popularity with her snarky on-screen persona Maeve on Netflix's "Sex Education". Based in the British country side, the dramedy follows the life of high schoolers, where Emma plays the tantalising social pariah Maeve Wiley.

After receiving her Rising Star Award at the BAFTA Awards, the starlet announced that she won't be returning for the show's fifth season.

When asked if she'll be returning for season 5, Mackey told Radio Times, "Season 5? I've just finished the fourth one last week!" 

She also added, "No I don't think I'll be in season 5. I've said goodbye to Maeve".
