“Adolescence” will have another season? Stephen Graham, protagonist and one of the creators of the series spoke about it

Neither Stephen Graham neither Hannah Waltershis wife, production partner and usual co -star on the screen, had an idea of ​​the reaction that he would generate Adolescencethe drama of Netflix of four parts that they copied and that tells the heartbreaking story of a British family whose world is disrupted when his 13 -year -old son, apparently normal, is arrested for the murder of a girl in his class.

Written by Jack Thorne and Graham (who also plays the boy’s distressed father) and directed by Philip Barantinithe series had the creative peculiarity of having recorded each episode in a single continuous shot. It was not a police series to use.

But Adolescence soon became the most commented program of the year To date: a moment of international conversation and few, acclaimed both by the powerful contemporary message of its moving plot and for the technical feat of its intricate choreography.

Stephen Graham and Hannah Walters talked about the success of adolescence

“It has been overwhelming”Walters said about the reaction, speaking with the Variety portal with Graham from his home office, the Central Matriarch Productions base of the duo, which produced adolescence.

“We are number one in 80 countries, including Saudi Arabia, India, Australia … It’s simply incredible. I did not think the subject resonated worldwide, but it has really done so”

The figures speak for themselves. In the United Kingdom, adolescence beat records, becoming the first streaming series to lead the weekly ratings. Worldwide, after premiering with the impressive figure of 24.3 million views in its first four days, it reached 66.3 million after two weeks, a new record for Netflix for a miniseries.

Will adolescence have a second season?

When a series generates as much attention as adolescence, you quickly talk about repeating success with another. Although it was originally developed as a unique production, it is unlikely that Netflix has not already been in contact for a sequel. It is something that both Graham and Walters recognize vaguely, although they point out that there is absolutely nothing official.

“Maybe, let’s see how the figures are,” said Graham. “But yes, there is the possibility of developing another story”.

Although Walters says that he would happily work with Netflix “all day”, he says “it is difficult” to follow up something that has had such an incredible impact.

“A prequel of adolescence, that will surely not happen”says. “But the One-Shot has a lot of tour and a lot of travel when exploring human nature and looking at something else. But, everything looks good … They are all happy, right?”
