🚨HISTORY MADE: Netflix’s latest crime thriller just broke the EMMYS in a way no one saw coming 😱🔥

With jaw-dropping twists, chilling performances, and record-breaking recognition, this dark and addictive series has cemented itself as one of Netflix’s most unforgettable hits ever.

Owen Cooper has officially made history after winning in the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie category for his role in Adolescence. The 15-year-old performer is now the youngest male actor of all time to win an Emmy Award. Meanwhile, Erin Doherty has won in the Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or Movie category, bringing the Netflix show’s award tally to six, with more potential wins on the way.

More to come.

Adolescence was created by Stephen Graham and Jack Thorne, and included an unparalleled performance by 15-year-old Owen Cooper as 13-year-old Jamie Miller, who is accused of murdering a classmate who turned him down when he shared his feelings for her. Despite being surrounded by plenty of incredible actors, Cooper’s debut acting appearance became the reason the show became one of the most talked about shows on Netflix for months.

‘Adolescence’ Season Two Could Happen, but Not in the Way You May Think

Adolescence is a show that doesn’t really need a second season. Its power is in telling a complete story, which it did almost impeccably. The show scored 98% with critics on Rotten Tomatoes, and landed with such an impact that it was even discussed as a topic in schools. With every success, though, comes the infernal question of what comes next?

After being the second-most watched TV series ever on Netflix, surpassing even the mighty Stranger Things, it became apparent that there was an interest in continuing the series in some way, and the obvious way would be as an anthology series. In April, it was revealed that Netflix and Brad Pitt’s production company, Plan B Entertainment, had started early talks to develop a new season of the show.

While Adolescence Season 2 would certainly have a challenge to match its predecessor, it has been suggested that director Philip Barantini will be returning if the show does return, while will be a huge boost. Adolescence delivered its story through a one-take style, with the episodes taking place in a real-time way that put audiences right in the moment. That is something that will continue in a new season, ensuring the same sense of urgency and immersiion as Season 1. Adolescence‘s awards success could be push to get Season 2 green lit sooner rather than later.
