Filming is underway
If the intensity of one-shot film Boiling Point upped your stress levels (in a good way), you won’t want to miss this upcoming drama also starring Stephen Graham. From the same team comes Adolescence, a real-time, one-shot crime drama coming soon to Netflix.
Filming is underway, but it’s still early days – even ‘Adolescence’ is still a working title, we are told. Here’s everything we know so far.
Adolescence: Plot, Cast, Release Date & More
In March 2024, Netflix UK teased it was working on a crime drama with the creators of Boiling Point, told in real-time and also one shot – so expect the intensity to be high. Bodies star Stephen Graham is on the writing team alongside Jack Thorne, with Philip Barantini directing.
