Stephen Graham Eyes 'Adolescence' Season 2 in Three to Four Years

Producers have discussed a next iteration that preserves the show's DNA.

Overview

  • Following his Golden Globes win, Stephen Graham said he and co-creator Jack Thorne would "pull it out in three or four years," signaling a slow timetable for any follow-up.
  • Graham characterized the idea as contemplation rather than an active production, with no plot details, schedule, or formal green light disclosed.
  • Plan B executives Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner have been in talks with director Philip Barantini about a "next iteration" that widens the aperture without repeating the original.
  • Adolescence won four Golden Globes from five nominations, including Best Limited or Anthology Series, with acting honors for Graham, Owen Cooper, and Erin Doherty.
  • The 2025 four-part series earned strong reviews and major viewership, including a reported 97% Rotten Tomatoes score, and it is available to stream on Netflix.
