Adolescence is a television mini-series created by Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham. It centres on a 13-year-old schoolboy named Jamie Miller (Owen Cooper) who is arrested for the murder of a female classmate. Each of its four episodes was shot in one continuous take.
The mini-series premiered on Netflix on 13 March, 2025, to critical acclaim for its directing and writing, as well as its atmosphere and performances.
