Netflix has debuted a set of first-look images of the new crime drama, ‘Adolescence,’ starring Stephen Graham, Ashley Walters and Erin Doherty.
The four-part limited series is directed by Philip Barantini, with each episode being filmed in one unflinching continuous shot, focusing on the main characters and the unparalleled drama as it unfolds in real time. The series will arrive on Netflix in 2025.
It tells the story of how a family’s world is turned upside down when 13-year-old Jamie Miller (Owen Cooper) is arrested for the murder of a teenage girl who goes to his school. Stephen Graham will play Jamie’s father and ‘appropriate adult’, Eddie Miller. Ashley Walters stars as Detective Inspector Luke Bascombe, and Erin Doherty is Briony Ariston, the clinical psychologist assigned to Jamie’s case.
