Adolescence Becomes Most Watched UK Show on Netflix and Gets Fans Talking
Netflix’s British crime drama Adolescence has taken the streaming world by storm since its release on March 13, 2025. The psychological thriller, praised for its unique continuous single-take filming style, has become a massive hit, racking up over 96.7 million views in just one week. This impressive feat has made it the most-watched UK series on Netflix in a single week, and its success continues to grow globally.
The series, directed by Philip Barantini and co-created by Stephen Graham and Jack Thorne, follows the intense story of Jamie Miller, a 13-year-old who is arrested for the murder of a classmate. What sets Adolescence apart is its real-time storytelling technique, where each episode unfolds in a continuous single take, drawing viewers into the experience like never before.
Adolescence has struck a chord with audiences for more than just its innovative filming style. The series dives deep into important themes such as toxic masculinity, the dangers of online radicalization, and how digital cultures shape the lives of today’s youth. These relevant and timely discussions have made the show a conversation starter around the world.
Critics have praised the show’s performances, especially from newcomer Owen Cooper, who plays Jamie, and its raw portrayal of adolescence in the digital age. With a near-perfect approval rating of 99% on Rotten Tomatoes, it’s clear that the series has captivated both viewers and critics alike.
Could a Second Season Air?
Given the overwhelming success of Adolescence, talks for a potential second season are already underway. Brad Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment, which is behind the show, is in discussions with the creators to explore where the story can go next. Fans are eager to see how the series will continue to develop and whether it will delve deeper into the complex themes that have made it such a cultural phenomenon.
Co-creator Stephen Graham has expressed a desire to expand the story, keeping its core focus on the pressures and challenges of growing up in today’s world. With such an engaged fanbase, the anticipation for a second season is growing every day.

The agency shared that Jung Woo-sung made the decision to register his marriage quietly and respectfully, just as he has approached his private life throughout his career.
