Starring the likes of Stephen Graham and Erin Doherty, the miniseries is made up of four hour-long episodes that are filmed in continuous one-hour long takes, following a 13-year-old boy who has been arrested on suspicion of murder.

Stephen Graham is known for his brutal drama acting but the Scouse star who is appearing in Adolescence had a very different hobby growing up which will shock people

The star says the special approach to the show from producer Warp Films, co-creator and writer Jack Thorne and director Philip Barantini, meant that he was "the most zen as an actor I've ever been."

Christine Tremarco also plays Jamie’s mum Manda Miller, who is married to Stephen’s character Eddie Miller – while Stephen’s real-life wife Hannah Walters also appears as a teacher. However, Emmerdale fans will likely best recognise Christine as Rose Jackson from the ITV soap.

The British actor wrote and stars in Netflix's new limited series, shot as a series of oners, that captures the aftermath of a child's violent crime.

Adolescence creator Stephen Graham has shared what he considers the show’s “biggest achievement”.

Adolescence has had fans gripped since it dropped on Netflix and it appears that some viewers will not be moving from their sofas for the foreseeable future

The actor has been hailed as one of Britain's best.
