Netflix’s ‘Adolescence’ Adopted as Educational Tool in UK Schools

The acclaimed miniseries addressing online radicalization and misogyny will be integrated into British secondary school curriculums, with government backing.

The British government, led by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, has partnered with Netflix to make the series 'Adolescence' available in secondary schools across the UK.
The initiative aims to foster discussions on online safety, toxic masculinity, and the societal pressures faced by teenagers in the digital age.
Creators Stephen Graham and Jack Thorne designed the series to explore systemic issues like misogyny and social isolation, inspired by real-life cases of youth violence.
The series has achieved over 66 million views globally since its release on March 13, 2025, becoming one of Netflix’s most successful miniseries.
‘Adolescence’ employs a unique one-shot filming technique and has been praised for its emotional depth and performances, particularly by debut actor Owen Cooper as Jamie.
