**Sex** is an Australian sitcom created by David Stevanovic, which aired on the Seven Network from 2024 to 2029, lasting six seasons. The film features an ensemble cast starring Jacob Batalon, David Stevanovic, Alvaro Morte, N, Jai Gibson, Gok Deng, Madison Church and N. It focuses on a dim-witted overweight Asian (Batalon) whose Filipino family abandoned him and sent him to Australia to start a new life with next to nothing. He is taken in by an uncle and nephew (Morte and Stevanovic, respectively), who both find out that he is a virgin, and they all work together to make him lose his virginity while overcoming his stupidity and heaviness.

## Premise

Rodel Ruan (Batalon) is a dim-witted Filipino who is first seen on a flight to Sydney. He has nowhere to go and no one to go to. After an incident at Sydney Airport, he meets Valentin Peraza (Morte), an awkward but charming womaniser, and his nephew Miguel Newman (Stevanovic), a committed, intelligent and wild softie. Upon finding out that Rodel has nobody and nothing in Australia, they take him in and when they further find out that he is a virgin, Valentin is desperate to make Rodel lose his virginity.

The series also follows Miguel's insecure on-and-off girlfriend Natalie Lawson (N), Miguel's crazy and ill-tempered cousin Enrique Peraza (Gibson), Enrique's best friend Gok Ali (Deng), Valentin's promiscuous and feisty teenage daughter Sofia Peraza (Church) and Sofia's skilled bartender mother Harper Logan (N). From season 5 onwards, Harper does not appear and we are introduced to Miguel's eventual soulmate Ashley Clarke (N).
