10 days ago | 5 Views
It is highly unlikely that you have not heard of Netflix's recent release, Adolescence, which has rapidly gained popularity in the streaming landscape. Even if you have not yet viewed the series, it is probable that you are aware of its existence. The show features newcomer Owen Cooper in the leading role and centers around a teenage boy who is accused of murdering his classmate, leading to a gripping investigation. With Brad Pitt as one of the executive producers, Adolescence garnered 24.3 million views within just four days and reached an impressive 66.3 million views after two weeks, establishing a new record for Netflix limited series. However, fans are now curious about the potential for a second season, particularly since the series concludes with a somewhat definitive ending. Creators Stephen Graham and Hannah Walters have now discussed the possibility of a second season for Adolescence.
Is Adolescence Season 2 Possible?
Adolescence is a collaborative creation by Stephen Graham and Jack Thorne (known for The Swimmers and Joy), directed by Philip Barantini, who previously utilized a similar continuous one-shot technique in the 2021 BAFTA- and BIFA-nominated film Boiling Point, in which Graham also performed. Recently, Graham provided insights into the potential for a second season, while Hannah Walters discussed the challenges of producing a prequel or sequel to the initial season.
In an interview with Variety regarding the prospects of Adolescence Season 2, Graham hinted, “Possibly. Let’s see how the figures are. But yeah, there’s the possibility of developing another story.” Walters added her excitement about the opportunity to collaborate with Netflix again, yet she recognized the challenges of following up on a project that has been so well-received.
Walters expressed skepticism regarding the possibility of a prequel to Adolescence, stating, "That is definitely not in the cards." However, he acknowledged the potential of the one-shot approach and the opportunity to further explore human nature through a different narrative. "Things are progressing positively... everyone seems content, if I may say so."
