Stephen Graham Has A Fresh Update On Adolescence Season 2 After Golden Globes Wins

Stephen Graham has updated fans on the possibility of a second season of his hit Netflix miniseries Adolescence. 

On Sunday night, fresh from collecting the Golden Globe for his performance as father Eddie Miller in Adolescence, Stephen was asked about the chance of the show returning for a second series. 

“I cannot answer that question because it’s somewhere in the deep recesses of my mind and [screenwriter[ Jack [Thorne]’s mind, and we’ll pull it out in three or four years,” he told reporters in the awards show’s press room. 

“So stay tuned.”

The British actor’s win was one of four Golden Globes victories for Adolescence, with Owen Cooper and Erin Doherty both picking up acting titles and the show itself being named Best Limited Series, Anthology Series Or TV Movie.

Although Netflix originally billed Adolescence as a miniseries – intended to consist of four self-contained episodes – Stephen and Jack have hinted that the show could turn into an anthology series in the future. 

Stephen previously told Tudum that if the show were to return for a second season, he doesn’t expect to see Jamie or the Miller family back.

“We knew that we wanted to end it in [Jamie’s] room. We wanted the journey to finish where it began,” he said.

Although the story of Eddie Miller, a father who is blindsided when his 13-year-old son commits a terrible crime, might be over, the series could follow another family in the aftermath of a shocking incident.

“If we were to go again, would I like it to go again? With a different story completely? Yes,” Stephen told Variety last year. 

Jack also previously made it clear that any new episodes would not continue the story of Jamie and the Miller family, saying: “I don’t think there’s anywhere more we can take Jamie. So, I don’t think there is a series two.

“We’d love to explore the one-shot format in another way – we’d love to tell other stories with it, but I don’t think a series two of Adolescence is quite right for us.”

Given the conversations the show has started, there is potential for the writers to explore how similar themes might affect different families.

In April last year, the co-presidents of the Plan B production company, Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner, told Deadline that they were talking to the show’s director, Philip Barantini, about the “next iteration” of the show. 

Gardner also said they are thinking about how they can “widen the aperture, stay true to its DNA [and] not be repetitive,” but stayed tight-lipped on exactly on what this would look like.

It’s no surprise Netflix want a second series of Adolescence. The show has cleaned up at nearly every awards season since its 2025 debut, winning eight of its 13 Emmy nominations as well as four Golden Globe Awards and Critics’ Choice Awards.
