Netflix has released a trailer for their upcoming limited crime thriller series, Adolescence, and it looks incredibly intense.
The four part limited series is directed by Philip Barantini, and written by Stephen Graham, who also stars, and Jack Thorne. The series stars Owen Cooper as a young man arrested for the murder of a teenage girl he goes to school with. Stephen Graham plays Jamie’s father. The cast also includes Ashley Walters, Erin Doherty, Faye Marsay, Christine Tremarco, Mark Stanley, Jo Hartley, and Amélie Pease.
The synopsis reads: “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.”
This looks at parenting under the harshest of circumstances and lesser-addressed issues that young people are facing. It’s going to be a hard watch, but it looks really well done.
Check out the trailer below, and watch Adolescence when it’s released on Netflix on March 13th.
