We love a bit of Stephen Graham. Whether it’s This Is England, Time, Peaky Blinders or one of his many other amazing roles – he never ceases to bring the goods. Now he’s back with a new thrilling drama coming to Netflix next month.
The streaming platform has released a range of first-look images for the four-part series ahead of its launch back in December. Adolescence is a crime drama is filmed in the same style as Graham’s critically acclaimed film and TV drama Boiling Point – which had us on the edge of our seats for its entirety.
The Netflix crime thriller will air on Netflix on March 13th and is set to feature Top Boy breakout star Ashley Walters as well as Erin Doherty who played a young Princess Anne in The Crown.
Stephen Graham told Netflix: “One of our aims was to ask, ‘What is happening to our young men these days, and what are the pressures they face from their peers, from the internet, and from social media And the pressures that come from all of those things are as difficult for kids here as they are the world over.”
The synopsis for Graham’s newest project reads: “Adolescence tells the story of how a family’s world is turned upside down when 13-year-old Jamie Miller (played by Owen Cooper) is arrested for the murder of a teenage girl who goes to his school.
“Stephen Graham will play Jamie’s father and ‘appropriate adult’, Eddie Miller. Ashley Walters stars as Detective Inspector Luke Bascombe, and Erin Doherty is Briony Ariston, the clinical psychologist assigned to Jamie’s case.”
Netflix’s Adolescense is directed by Boiling Point’s, Philip Barantini and was created and written by Stephen Graham and Jack Thorne (the screenwriter for film Joy).
Filming took place in various locations in Yorkshire including South Kirkby, South Elmsall and Sheffield. And also, Graham was recently spotted in the East Yorkshire town of Goole where he was filming for his role as Hayden Stagg in Knight’s Peaky Blinders feature-length follow-up The Immortal Man.
