Netflix launch the trailer for new drama Adolescence

Netflix has released a trailer for new crime drama, Adolescence, starring Stephen Graham (Boiling Point, Bodies), Ashley Walters (Top Boy) and Erin Doherty (The Crown).

The four-part limited series, directed by Philip Barantini, is filmed in one continuous shot, with each episode holding focus on the main characters and the unparalleled drama as it unfolds in real time.

Starring in his first major role for television is Owen Cooper, alongside Faye Marsay (Game of Thrones), Christine Tremarco (The Responder), Mark Stanley (Happy Valley), Jo Hartley (After Life) and newcomer Amélie Pease.

Adolescence tells the story of how a family's world is turned upside down when 13-year-old Jamie Miller (Owen Cooper) is arrested for the murder of a teenage girl who goes to his school.

Stephen Graham takes on the role of Jamie’s father and 'appropriate adult’, Eddie Miller, while Ashley Walters stars as Detective Inspector Luke Bascombe.

Erin Doherty joins the cast as Briony Ariston, the clinical psychologist assigned to Jamie’s case.

Adolescence reunites Stephen Graham and Philip Barantini, who previously collaborated on the BAFTA and BIFA nominated feature Boiling Point, critically acclaimed for its one continuous shot.

The series is created and written by Graham and multi-award winner Jack Thorne (The Swimmers, Joy).
