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.
Justin Bieber has finally addressed the swirling rumors about a possible split from his wife, Hailey Bieber.
Speculation about the couple’s marriage had been trending across social media for weeks, with many assuming their relationship was on the rocks.
The pair, who tied the knot in September 2018 and welcomed their first child in August 2024, have been under public scrutiny lately.
Taking to Instagram on Friday, Justin appeared to respond to the negativity with a mix of honesty and frustration.
He shared a reflective message about grace and forgiveness, saying guilt isn’t erased by church attendance or Bible reading, but by accepting God’s forgiveness.
“Jesus forgives the people the world refuses to,” he wrote, admitting that while people treat him badly, he tries to stay grounded by remembering his own flaws.
He acknowledged being hurt by rumors but confessed that he, too, can be hurtful at times. “Hurt people hurt people,” he added.
Justin ended the post with a message many saw as a direct clapback: “If I were you, I’d probably be jealous too. Me and Hailey are going brazzzzzy. I get why people can’t stand it — I really do.”
His message seems to shut down the divorce chatter while giving fans a rare, raw glimpse into his mindset.
Bain, a member of the K-pop group Just B, made headlines after opening up about his sexuality during a concert in Los Angeles.
The 23-year-old surprised fans by revealing he’s gay, a rare move in the Korean music scene where artists often keep their personal lives private.
While performing a solo, Bain proudly said he’s part of the LGBTQ+ community, prompting the audience to erupt in cheers.
He went on to share a heartfelt message: “To anyone out there in the LGBTQ+ community or still figuring things out — this is for you. You are seen, you are loved, and you were born this way.”
Korean outlet News1 reports that Bain is the first male K-pop idol to come out publicly.
After the show, fellow bandmate Siwoo shared a touching message on a fan platform, saying, “I was watching from backstage and I cried too. I cried even more because I knew how hard it was for him.”
Hollywood Actress, Camille Razat, actress from popular Netflix series “Emily In Paris” speaks up on reason why she left the show.
The actress revealed her exit from the series on the 22nd of April during a brief interview with TVLine. “After an incredible journey, I’ve made the decision to step away from Emily in Paris.”
The creator of the series, Darren Star stated “Characters can come in and out of a series, but you don’t necessarily have to see them. We may or may not. I don’t know how much of Camille we’ll see next season. But again, she’s part of the world of the series. I’m not sure how soon we’ll see her, but it doesn’t mean, again, that we won’t be seeing her.”
