'Adolescence' Becomes Netflix's Top Limited Series as Creators Hint at Future Projects

The four-part series has sparked global discussions on toxic masculinity and youth violence while breaking viewership records with 66.3 million views in two weeks.

'Adolescence' has become Netflix's most-watched limited series, topping charts in 80 countries and amassing 66.3 million views within two weeks of its release.
The creators, Stephen Graham and Hannah Walters, have suggested the possibility of a follow-up project, though it would not be a direct sequel or prequel.
The series explores the influence of toxic masculinity, online radicalization, and social media on youth, particularly young boys, and its connection to rising violence.
While praised for its innovative one-shot filming technique and compelling performances, the show has faced criticism for sidelining the victim's perspective in favor of the perpetrator's story.
Political and educational leaders in the UK are advocating for the series to be used in schools to address issues of misogyny, youth violence, and harmful online content.
