Washington, Jan 14 (.) The story of ‘Adolescence’ may not be finished yet, as the acclaimed Netflix series, originally conceived as a limited run, could return for a second season.
The hint came from actor and co-creator Stephen Graham, who won the Golden Globe for Best Male Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology, or TV Movie on Sunday night. Graham, who portrays father Eddie Miller in the series, was asked backstage about the show’s future.
According to Deadline, Graham teased that a continuation is still on the minds of him and co-creator Jack Thorne. “I cannot answer that question because it’s somewhere in the deep recesses of my mind and Jack’s mind, and we’ll pull it out in three or four years, so stay tuned,” he said.
Discussions about a potential second season began last April. Plan B co-presidents Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner told Deadline that they had been speaking with director Philip Barantini about what could come next.
Gardner noted that they aim to preserve the show’s “DNA” while exploring new directions without repeating the original story.
‘Adolescence’ follows Eddie Miller, a father whose life is upended after his 13-year-old son Jamie commits a serious crime. Owen Cooper, who plays Jamie, won the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor, while Erin Doherty earned the award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as therapist Briony Ariston.
The series earned a total of five ‘Golden Globe’ nominations, including Best Limited Series.
The show has also been a major success during awards season. Since its debut prior to the 2025 Emmy Awards, ‘Adolescence’ received 13 Emmy nominations and won eight. It also became Netflix’s second most-watched English-language series of all time, amassing over 146 million views in its first 91 days.
