The plot revolves around a family that is devastated when their 13-year-old son is arrested for the murder of a classmate. With a focus on crime drama, the series addresses complex themes related to juvenile delinquency and its implications, using an innovative filming technique.

The cast includes actors such as Stephen Graham, Ashley Walters, Erin Doherty, and Owen Cooper, who bring the main characters of the series to life.
The production of the miniseries is handled by Warp Films, Matriarch Productions, and Plan B Entertainment, the production company of Brad Pitt.

With significant social relevance, “Adolescence” seeks to delve into relevant themes of contemporary society through a narrative that unfolds in real-time and a filming technique that intensifies the viewer's experience. With a strong cast and a promising story, the series promises to captivate the audience with its impactful and thought-provoking approach to crime and family drama.
