Has Netflix’s blockbuster show Adolescence ended? It seems not. The Adolescence crew is reportedly in talks to make season 2 a reality, which is exciting.
Netflix’s English TV list leader Adolescence had over 114 million views in less than a month since its March 13, 2025 release.
The limited series follows Jamie Miller, played by newcomer Owen Cooper. Miller, 13, from a small English hamlet, was arrested for murdering Katie Leonard, a classmate.
Adolescence, created by Stephen Graham and Jack Thorne and produced by Brad Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment, ended well with some hinted ramifications, but the team is apparently considering a second season. Find out all about Adolescence season 2 below.
Has Adolescence Been Renewed For Season 2?
Adolescence season 2 is unconfirmed. Additionally, the show was released as a limited series, meaning it was not meant to endure beyond its initial season.
Given Adolescence’s remarkable popularity, Deadline reports that Plan B co-presidents Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner are in preliminary talks with director Philip Barantini to develop the “next iteration” of the show. Kleiner also wants series creators Stephen Graham and Jack Thorne back for whatever comes next.
Gardner said the team is discussing ways to “widen the aperture” and “stay true to its DNA” without becoming “repetitive.”
A limited series returning as a regular show isn’t new. The White Lotus had a similar fate.
The Adolescence team seems aware of this probability. Speaking to Variety, creator Stephen Graham, who also plays Miller’s father on the show, said: “Let’s see how the figures are. But yeah, there’s the possibility of developing another story.”
What Could Happen In Adolescence Season 2?
Gardner’s statements about avoiding repetition suggest Adolescence season 2 may take an anthological approach, exploring UK teen social concerns or continuing Miller’s narrative from a different perspective.
“A prequel to Adolescence, that’s certainly not going to happen,” Graham’s wife, producer, and costar Hannah Walters told Variety. “But there’s so much mileage in the one-shot and so much mileage in investing into human nature again and looking at something else. But yeah, everything’s looking good … everyone’s happy, shall we say?”
Speaking to Tudum, Graham said: “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.”
