Netflix's 'Adolescence' May Expand as Talks Begin for a Second Season

Brad Pitt's Plan B Entertainment and director Philip Barantini explore an anthology-style continuation following the show's critical and commercial success.

Discussions are underway between Plan B Entertainment and director Philip Barantini about a potential second season of 'Adolescence,' which would move beyond Jamie's story to explore new narratives.
The proposed second season may adopt an anthology format, maintaining the show's signature one-take filming style and focus on pressing social issues.
'Adolescence' has become Netflix's fourth most-watched English-language series, with over 114 million views since its March 13 debut, and has been integrated into U.K. school curricula.
The series has been lauded for its unflinching examination of toxic masculinity, online radicalization, and the societal pressures on youth, sparking significant cultural and educational discussions.
Plan B co-presidents have emphasized the importance of staying true to the show's DNA while broadening its scope, with hopes of reuniting key collaborators like Stephen Graham and Jack Thorne.
