Adolescence tells the story of a 13-year-old boy who is accused of murder. The series explores the impact of social media on children and the upbringing of boys, along with the turbulent process experienced by the family of the boy at the centre of the case.

The impressive performance of Stephen Graham, known from projects such as Peaky Blinders and This is England, was evaluated as one of the most prominent elements of the series’ strong acting cast.
Reaching a wide audience in North America and Europe as well as the United Kingdom, the series is rapidly gaining popularity on international platforms. Adolescence, which resonates in a wide geography, will have a deep impact on viewers not only with its ratings but also with the issues it deals with.
