Stephen Graham and Boiling Point director reunite on Netflix one-shot drama, also starring Ashley Walters and The Crown’s Erin Doherty.
Stephen Graham, Ashley Walters and Erin Doherty have started shooting Adolescence (w/t), a new drama for Netflix.
Philip Barantini directs the four-part series, with each episode being filmed in one continuous shot, holding focus on the main characters and the plot as it unfolds in real time. Adolescence reunites Graham and Barantini, who previously worked together on Boiling Point; the feature was also filmed in one unbroken shot.
The series is created and written by Graham and Jack Thorne; Jo Johnson produces. The executive producers are Mark Herbert and Emily Feller for Warp Films, Graham and Hannah Walters for Matriarch Productions, Thorne for One Shoe Films, Barantini for It’s All Made Up, and Jeremy Kleiner, Dede Gardner and Nina Wolarsky for Plan B Entertainment.
Adolescence explores how a family’s world is turned upside down when 13-year-old Jamie Miller (Owen Cooper) is arrested and charged with the murder of a teenage girl who goes to his school. Graham plays Jamie’s father and ‘appropriate adult’, Eddie Miller.
Walters stars as Detective Inspector Bascombe, and Doherty is Briony Ariston, the clinical psychologist assigned to Jamie’s case. The series is produced by Warp Films, Matriarch Productions and Plan B for Netflix.
